U+AF51 "꽑" Hangul Syllable Ggwalg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꽑
U+AF51 "꽑" Hangul Syllable Ggwalg is a precomposed Korean syllable from the modern Hangul block, representing a single phonetic unit in the Korean writing system. It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (ssanggiyeok, pronounced as a tensed "k" sound), the medial vowel "ㅘ" (wa, a diphthong combining /o/ and /a/), and the final consonant "ㄹㄱ" (rieul-giyeok, an consonant cluster pronounced as a lateral followed by a velar stop, typically realized as a "lk" sound). This syllable is used in Korean language text, particularly in words like "꽑다," which means "to scrape" or "to peel" in a sense of removing a layer, and it illustrates the complex phonetic structure that Hangul can encode through its systematic combination of jamo.
