U+AFEA "꿪" Hangul Syllable Ggweoj Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꿪
U+AFEA "꿪" Hangul Syllable Ggweoj is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, used for writing the Korean language. This specific syllable combines the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tensed 'kk' sound), the medial vowel "ㅟ" (pronounced like the English 'wee' or 'wi'), and the final consonant "ㅈ" (a 'j' sound), resulting in the phonetic reading "ggweoj." It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean initial consonants, medial vowels, and final consonants in a single character for efficient text processing. In practical use, such syllables appear in Korean words and names, though "꿪" is relatively rare in common vocabulary, typically found in specialized or historic contexts.
