Unicode Version 17.0
캭
U+CEAD "캭" Hangul Syllable Kyag is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "kyag" as a combination of the initial consonant ᄏ (which is an aspirated velar plosive, similar to a strong 'k' sound) and the vowel ᅣ (a "ya" sound) with the final consonant ᆨ (a 'g' or 'k' sound). It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block, which encodes all possible syllabic blocks formed from the Korean alphabet, and is used in written Korean to denote this specific phonetic unit, though it is relatively rare compared to more common syllables in everyday vocabulary.
