Unicode Version 17.0

U+C776 "읶" Hangul Syllable Igg is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅇ" (a silent placeholder), the medial vowel "ㅣ" (which sounds like the 'ee' in "see"), and the final consonant "ㄱ" (the 'g' or 'k' sound). Classified in the Unicode block for Hangul Syllables, this character is used in the Korean writing system to form a single typographic unit for the syllable 'ig' or 'ik', depending on phonological context.
