U+B080 "낀" Hangul Syllable Ggin Unicode Character
U+B080 "낀" Hangul Syllable Ggin is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic sound "ggin". It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (ssanggiyeok, a tense double consonant), the vowel "ㅣ" (i), and the final consonant "ㄴ" (nieun), which together produce a syllable that appears in native and Sino-Korean vocabulary. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all 11,172 possible two- or three-letter syllable combinations that can be formed with the Korean alphabet, and it follows the standard Unicode ordering based on the alphabetical sequence of initial consonants, vowels, and final consonants. In practical use, "낀" can be found in words such as the verb "끼다" (ggida, meaning to wedge or insert) when conjugated or combined, though it is less common than other syllables due to the relative rarity of the tense double consonant in everyday Korean text.
