U+B07C "끼" Hangul Syllable Ggi Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
끼
U+B07C "끼" Hangul Syllable Ggi is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the sound "ggi." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ᄁ (a tensed "g" or "kk" sound) with the vowel ᅵ (the vowel "i"), and it functions as a standard character in written Korean, used in words and proper names. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is encoded as a single code point for efficient text processing and display, reflecting Korean orthographic conventions where syllabic blocks are fundamental units. Its usage appears in everyday vocabulary, such as in the common expression "끼다" (to wedge or insert), and is easily recognizable in Korean text due to its compact consonant-vowel structure.
