Unicode Version 17.0
캯
U+CEAF "캯" Hangul Syllable Kyags is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "kyags." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk), the medial vowel "ㅑ" (ya), and the final consonant cluster "ㄳ" (giyeok-sios), which together create a single syllabic block. This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean letters in a unified and contiguous character range, allowing for efficient text processing and display. As part of the Korean script, "캯" is used in written Korean to express words or morphemes that require this specific phonetic and orthographic combination, though it is relatively rare in everyday usage.
