U+AFFA "꿺" Hangul Syllable Ggwelm Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+AFFA "꿺" Hangul Syllable Ggwelm is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, representing the Korean sound "ggwelm." It is formed from the initial consonant "ᄁ" (ssang giyeok), the medial vowel "ᅯ" (weo), and the final consonant "ᆵ" (rieul biup), which together create a single block character as part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode. This syllable is used in the Korean writing system to encode a specific phonetic combination that may appear in native or loanword vocabulary. While it is a valid and defined character in the Unicode standard, its actual usage in modern Korean text is quite rare, as it does not commonly occur in everyday words or standard dictionaries.
