U+AF49 "꽉" Hangul Syllable Ggwag Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꽉
U+AF49 "꽉" Hangul Syllable Ggwag is a precomposed syllable in the Korean writing system, representing the sound "ggwag" which is a tense, doubled consonant version of the syllable "gwak." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ᄁ" (a tensed 'g' sound) with the medial vowel "ᅪ" (representing 'wa') and the final consonant "ᆨ" ('k'), and it often carries a semantic nuance of tightness, fullness, or sudden containment, as in the Korean verb "꽉 차다" meaning "to be filled tightly" or "꽉 막히다" meaning "to be blocked solidly." This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations of the modern Korean alphabet, enabling efficient text representation for the Korean language.
