U+AF2C "꼬" Hangul Syllable Ggo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꼬
U+AF2C "꼬" Hangul Syllable Ggo is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the phonetic sound "ggo." It is formed from the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tense, doubled version of "ㄱ" for a harder "g" sound) and the vowel "ㅗ" (the "o" sound as in "go"). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which contains over 11,000 precomposed syllables arranged in alphabetic order according to their initial, medial, and final components. In Korean, "꼬" can be found in words like "꼬리" (ggori, meaning "tail") or "꼬마" (ggoma, meaning "little one" or "kid"), and its distinctive double consonant gives it a slightly tenser and higher pitched pronunciation compared to the plain "고" syllable.
