U+CE9E "캞" Hangul Syllable Kaelp Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
캞
U+CE9E "캞" Hangul Syllable Kaelp is a precomposed Korean Hangul syllable representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk), the medial vowel "ㅐ" (ae), and the final consonant "ㄿ" (rieul-pieup), which is a complex final consonant cluster. This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes modern and archaic Korean syllables as single code points for efficient text processing. While it is a valid, recognized syllable in the Hangul writing system, its usage is extremely rare in modern Korean, as it appears primarily in historical texts or specialized linguistic contexts where the exact phonetic value "kaelp" must be represented.
