Unicode Version 17.0
껺
U+AEFA "껺" Hangul Syllable Ggyeonh is a precomposed syllable from the Hangul script, used to write the Korean language. It represents the phonetic sound "ggyeonh" and is formed through the combination of the initial consonant "ㄲ" (ssanggiyeok, a tense velar plosive), the medial vowel "ㅕ" (yeo), and the final consonant "ㄶ" (nah, a digraph that produces an “n” sound followed by a tense “h” aspiration). This syllable is part of the modern Korean alphabet's expansive set of precomposed syllables, which allows for efficient text storage and processing by encoding complete syllabic blocks as single code points rather than requiring multiple combining characters.
