U+B04E "끎" Hangul Syllable Ggeulm is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing the Korean sound "ggeulm," which is formed from the initial consonant "ㄲ" (ssang giyeok), the medial vowel "ㅡ" (eu), and the final consonant cluster "ㄻ" (rieul-mieum). This specific syllable is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, a range that encodes all possible modern Hangul syllable combinations using the standard South Korean ordering system (Hangul Jungseong and Jongseong). In Korean writing and typography, it is a valid but relatively rare syllable, used in specialized vocabulary or proper nouns, and its pronunciation involves a tense initial sound and a final double consonant that is pronounced as a single, unreleased "lm" sound.
