U+AF99 "꾙" Hangul Syllable Ggoet Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꾙
U+AF99 "꾙" Hangul Syllable Ggoet is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "ggoet." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ᄁ (ssanggiyeok, a tensed "g" sound), the vowel ㅚ (oe, a diphthong), and the final consonant ᆮ (tieut, a "t" sound). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character functions as a single encoded unit rather than being composed from individual jamo characters, which simplifies text processing and display for Korean language content. The syllable itself is relatively uncommon in everyday Korean vocabulary but contributes to the comprehensive coverage of all possible syllable combinations in the Hangul script.
