Unicode Version 17.0
꼦
U+AF26 "꼦" Hangul Syllable Ggyej is a specific precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system for the Korean language, representing the sound "ggyej." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tensed or double "g" sound) with the medial vowel "ㅖ" (the diphthong "ye") and the final consonant "ㅈ" (the "j" sound), resulting in a syllable block that is not commonly used in standard Korean vocabulary today. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which includes thousands of syllables arranged in a systematic order based on the Korean alphabet's phonetic principles, and its inclusion ensures full digital representation of historical or rare linguistic forms.
