꼽
U+AF3D "꼽" Hangul Syllable Ggob is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "ggob" which is formed by the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tensed 'g' sound) and the medial vowel "ㅗ" (a short 'o' sound) combined with the final consonant "ㅂ" (a 'b' or 'p' sound). This syllable is part of the Hangul Syllables block, a Unicode range that encodes all possible syllable combinations in the Korean alphabet to enable efficient digital representation and text processing. In actual Korean usage, "꼽" is not a common standalone word but can appear in specific compound terms or contexts, such as in the word "꼽추" meaning "hunchback," where it serves as a descriptive or lexical building block within the language.
