U+B564 "땤" Hangul Syllable Ddaek Unicode Character
U+B564 "땤" Hangul Syllable Ddaek is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant ᄄ (which represents the tense double 'd' sound akin to 'dd' in English) with the vowel ㅐ (pronounced 'ae' like the 'a' in 'cat') and the final consonant ᆨ (the 'k' sound). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all logically possible syllable blocks in the Korean alphabet, and it is used in the Korean language to represent the specific phonetic value of "ddaek." While not among the most frequently used syllables in contemporary Korean text, it demonstrates the systematic and modular nature of the Hangul script, where characters are assembled from individual jamo components to cover a vast range of sounds.
