Unicode Version 17.0
끸
U+B078 "끸" Hangul Syllable Ggyik is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic sound "ggyik." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tensed double 'g/k'), the vowel "ㅢ" (ui), and the final consonant "ᆨ" (k), though in standard modern Korean, the vowel "ㅢ" in such a syllable is more commonly pronounced as "i" or "e" in practical speech. This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block, which encodes all possible syllable combinations in the Korean writing system, and is used primarily in written Korean to denote a specific lexical or morphological unit, though it is relatively rare in everyday vocabulary.
