U+CEAE "캮" Hangul Syllable Kyagg Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+CEAE "캮" Hangul Syllable Kyagg is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script used for the Korean language, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant 'ㅋ' (kieuk, sounding like an aspirated 'k'), the medial vowel 'ㅑ' (ya), and the final double consonant 'ㄲ' (ssang giyeok, a tensed 'k' sound). This syllable is classified in Unicode under the Hangul Syllables block, which contains modern and archaic combinations following the compositional principles of the Korean writing system where initial, medial, and final jamo (letters) are grouped into a single character for digital encoding. In modern Korean, such a syllable would be read as "kyagg," though it is not commonly found in everyday vocabulary and may appear in technical or historical linguistic contexts.
