Unicode Version 17.0
엑
U+C5D1 "엑" Hangul Syllable Eg is a precomposed Korean Hangul syllable representing the sound "eg" or "ek," depending on phonetic context. It is formed from the initial consonant ㅇ (ieung, a silent placeholder in initial position for vowel sounds), the vowel ㅔ (e), and the final consonant ㄱ (giyeok). This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes complete syllable blocks for the Korean writing system, allowing for efficient text processing and display. In modern Korean, "엑" appears in various words, such as in the loanword "엑스" (ekseu, meaning "X" or "x-ray"), and exemplifies how Unicode enables digital representation of complex syllabic scripts.
