U+C59A "얚" Hangul Syllable Yaegg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
얚
U+C59A "얚" Hangul Syllable Yaegg is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul writing system, representing the Korean sound "yaegg." It is formed from the initial consonant ㅇ (ieung, silent at the start of a syllable), the medial vowel ㅒ (yae), and the final consonant ㄲ (ssang giyeok), a double consonant that produces a tensed "k" sound. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean lead consonants, vowels, and tail consonants for efficient text representation. Though relatively rare in modern Korean usage, it exemplifies the systematic and modular nature of Hangul, where syllables are logically composed from phonemic components.
