Unicode Version 17.0

U+B047 "끇" Hangul Syllable Ggeugs is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, representing the Korean sound "ggeugs," formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (ssang giyeok), the vowel "ㅡ" (eu), and the final consonant "ㅅ" (giyeok siot). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block, which encodes over 11,000 such precomposed forms to facilitate efficient representation of Korean text without requiring real-time composition from individual jamo components. In actual Korean language usage, "끇" is not a common word but could theoretically appear in transcriptions or rare contexts, though it more frequently serves as a typographic or encoding example within Unicode documentation.
