U+B029 "뀩" Hangul Syllable Ggyug Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
뀩
U+B029 "뀩" Hangul Syllable Ggyug is a precomposed syllable representing a specific sound in the Korean writing system, Hangul. It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tensed "g" sound), the medial vowel "ㅠ" (the diphthong "yu"), and the final consonant "ㄱ" (a "g" or "k" sound), producing the phonetic reading of "ggyug". As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is used in Korean text to represent a word or morpheme, though it is a relatively rare syllable in modern Korean vocabulary compared to more common combinations. Its encoding simplifies digital storage and display by providing a single code point for the entire syllable, rather than requiring the combination of separate jamo characters.
