U+AF23 "꼣" Hangul Syllable Ggyes Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꼣
U+AF23 "꼣" Hangul Syllable Ggyes is a precomposed syllable representing the Korean sound "ggyes," formed from the initial consonant "ㄲ" (ssang giyeok) and the medial vowel "ㅖ" (ye) with the final consonant "ㅅ" (siot, in batchim position). This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible modern Korean syllables in a single, unified range. While it is a valid and correctly coded syllable in the Korean writing system, the syllable "꼣" corresponds to no commonly used native Korean word, making it a rare or non-existent form in practical contemporary language usage, though it could theoretically appear in transliterations or invented contexts.
