U+CE9A "캚" Hangul Syllable Kaelm is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk), the medial vowel "ㅐ" (ae), and the final consonant "ㄻ" (rieul-mieum). This syllable block is encoded in the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, which contains over 11,000 precomposed syllables, to facilitate efficient text processing and rendering for the Korean language.
