끏
U+B04F "끏" Hangul Syllable Ggeulb is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic sound "ggeulb." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (ssanggiyeok, a tense double consonant), the medial vowel "ㅡ" (eu), and the final consonant cluster "ㄼ" (bieup followed by mieum), which together create a syllable that does not commonly appear in standard Korean vocabulary but exists within the Unicode Hangul Syllables block (AC00–D7AF) to ensure complete coverage of all possible syllable combinations. This character is typically used in specialized linguistic contexts, such as representing dialectal pronunciations or for typesetting rare or archaic Korean words.
