Unicode Version 17.0
캷
U+CEB7 "캷" Hangul Syllable Kyalb is a precomposed Korean syllable representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk, similar to an aspirated 'k'), the medial vowel "ㅑ" (ya), and the final consonant "ㅂ" (bieup, akin to a soft 'b' or 'p'). This character was introduced as part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode version 2.0 to standardize the digital representation of the Korean writing system, allowing it to be displayed correctly across modern operating systems and devices. Belonging to the CJK-borrowed script category in Unicode, it essentially encodes a single spoken syllable from the Korean language, though it is not a common or widely used syllable in contemporary Korean vocabulary.
