U+AF8E "꾎" Hangul Syllable Ggoelp Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꾎
U+AF8E "꾎" Hangul Syllable Ggoelp is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script used to write the Korean language, representing the phonetic sound /k͈wʌlp/ in the Revised Romanization of Korean. This syllable is formed by combining the initial consonant "꿰" (ggwae) which is a tense variant of the velar plosive "ㄱ" (g) with the diphthong vowel "ㅚ" (oe) and the final consonant "ㄼ" (lb), though in practice the combination yields the sound ggoelp with the final cluster pronounced as a single "lp" sound. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it is encoded for use in digital text representation of Korean words, though it is relatively rare in everyday usage compared to more common syllables.
