U+AF88 "꾈" Hangul Syllable Ggoel is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "ggoel". It is formed by combining the initial consonant ᄁ (a tensed or fortis double kiyeok, pronounced like a hard "gg") with the medial vowel ㅚ (oe, a diphthong blending "o" and "e") and the final consonant ᄅ (rieul, an "l" sound).
