U+AFA6 "꾦" Hangul Syllable Ggyolm Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꾦
U+AFA6 "꾦" Hangul Syllable Ggyolm is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "ggyolm." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tensed or double "g" sound), the vowel "ㅛ" (yo), and the final consonant "ㄻ" (lm). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character allows for the efficient digital representation of a specific phonetic unit in Korean, where tensed consonants and complex final clusters are common. Though not among the most frequently used syllables in everyday Korean text, it demonstrates the systematic and modular nature of the Hangul script's encoding in Unicode.
