U+CEBA "캺" Hangul Syllable Kyalp Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+CEBA "캺" Hangul Syllable Kyalp is a precomposed syllable representing the Korean sound "kyalp," formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk), the vowel "ㅑ" (ya), and the final consonant "ㄿ" (rieul bieup). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes complete syllables by their phonetic composition rather than as separate jamo components, enabling efficient text processing for the Korean writing system. It is used in Korean text to represent a specific phonetic combination that occurs in vocabulary, though it is a relatively rare syllable due to the uncommon final consonant cluster.
