U+AF97 "꾗" Hangul Syllable Ggoec is a precomposed syllable in the Korean writing system, representing the sound "ggoec" where the initial consonant is a tense or fortis velar stop (ㄲ), the medial vowel is the diphthong ㅚ (oe), and the final consonant is ㅊ (ch). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block, which was added to the Unicode Standard to encode all possible syllable combinations in modern Korean in a single codepoint, allowing for efficient text processing. The syllable 꾗 itself is rarely used in contemporary Korean vocabulary, as it corresponds to a complex phonetic combination that may appear in archaic or specialized linguistic contexts rather than common words.
