Unicode Version 17.0

U+AF6F "꽯" Hangul Syllable Ggwaelb is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul block, representing a specific phonetic combination in the Korean writing system. It is formed by the initial consonant "ㄲ" (double giyeok, pronounced as a tense 'gg' sound), the medial vowel "ㅙ" (wae, a diphthong blending 'wa' and 'e'), and the final consonant "ㄼ" (bieup and rieul, which is pronounced as an 'l' or 'b' depending on phonetic context). This syllable is used in Korean orthography to encode the sound "ggwaelb" in words, though it is not among the most common syllables due to its complex consonant cluster and less frequent vowel combination.
