U+B06B "끫" Hangul Syllable Ggyilb is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "ggyilb" which combines the initial consonant 'kk' (쌍기역), the vowel 'i' (이), and the final consonant cluster 'lb' (리을비읍). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it is used in written Korean to denote a specific phonetic syllable, though it is an uncommon or rare syllable in everyday modern Korean vocabulary, primarily existing for the sake of complete syllabic coverage in digital text encoding. This character is formed algorithmically through the combination of its constituent jamo (Hangul letters) and is displayed as a single, compound block symbol in fonts that support the Korean script.
