U+AF9D "꾝" Hangul Syllable Ggyog Unicode Character
U+AF9D "꾝" Hangul Syllable Ggyog is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tensed double kiyeok representing a fortis 'k' sound) with the medial vowel "ㅛ" (yo) and the final consonant "ㄱ" (giyeok). This character is encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Hangul Syllables block (U+AC00 to U+D7AF), which organizes all possible syllables of the Korean alphabet algorithmically rather than as individual unique letters. The syllable 꾝 is not a common word in daily Korean but may appear in specific contexts, such as transliterations, onomatopoeia, or linguistic examples, and it represents a single mora with a distinct tensed and glottalized articulation that is characteristic of Korean phonology.
