U+AEE0 "껠" Hangul Syllable Ggel Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
껠
U+AEE0 "껠" Hangul Syllable Ggel is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a double, fortis 'g' sound), the vowel "ㅔ" (a mid-front 'e' sound), and the final consonant "ㄹ" (a liquid 'l' sound). This character represents a specific phonetic unit in the Korean language, pronounced similarly to the English word "gull" but with a tensed, stressed initial sound. While "껠" is a valid and officially encoded Hangul syllable, it is not commonly used in everyday modern Korean vocabulary, as it typically appears only in specialized linguistic contexts or transliterations rather than in standard words.
