U+AEED "껭" Hangul Syllable Ggeng Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
껭
U+AEED "껭" Hangul Syllable Ggeng is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing the Korean sound "ggeng," which is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (ssanggiyeok, a tensed 'g' sound), the medial vowel "ㅔ" (e), and the final consonant "ㅇ" (ieung, representing the velar nasal 'ng'). Used in the modern Korean writing system, this syllable appears in words such as "껭이," a colloquial or dialect term for a type of crab or a small creature, and is also found in onomatopoeic expressions. Its inclusion in the Hangul Syllables block of Unicode ensures that the syllable is represented as a single, indivisible character for correct text processing, display, and storage in digital environments.
