U+B058 "끘" Hangul Syllable Ggeuss Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
끘
U+B058 "끘" Hangul Syllable Ggeuss is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, representing a single block that combines the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tense, double 'g' or 'k' sound), the vowel "ㅡ" (a close back unrounded vowel like the 'eu' in English "good"), and the final consonant cluster "ㅆ" (a tense, double 's' sound). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character encodes the phonetic unit "ggeuss" (with the final double 's' producing a sharp, geminated pronunciation), and it is used exclusively in writing the Korean language, where it contributes to the precise representation of words and morphemes in the Korean alphabet.
