U+AF00 "꼀" Hangul Syllable Ggyeols Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꼀
U+AF00 "꼀" Hangul Syllable Ggyeols is a precomposed hangul syllable representing the sound "ggyeols," which is a combination of the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tensed or double "g" sound), the medial vowel "ㅕ" (the diphthong "yeo"), and the final consonant "ㄹㅅ" (the cluster "ls"). It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block of the Unicode standard, which was added to encode the complete set of Korean syllable blocks composed of lead consonants, vowels, and tail consonants. This specific character is rarely used in modern Korean, as it contains the obsolete or rare final consonant cluster "ㄹㅅ," but it may appear in historical texts or specialized linguistic contexts.
