끜
U+B05C "끜" Hangul Syllable Ggeuk is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul script, specifically representing the sound "ggeuk" with the initial consonant ᄁ (ssanggiyeok, a tense and aspirated "gg" sound), the vowel ᅳ (eu), and the final consonant ᆨ (giyeok, a "k" sound). It is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean initial consonants, vowels, and final consonants as distinct character codes.
