U+CECB "컋" Hangul Syllable Kyaegs Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
컋
U+CECB "컋" Hangul Syllable Kyaegs is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic value of /kʰjɛk̚/. It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅋ (kieuk), the medial diphthong ㅒ (yae), and the final consonant ㄱ (kiyeok), which together create a single, valid but extremely rare syllable used primarily in transliteration, academic contexts, or historical Korean texts rather than in everyday vocabulary. As part of the Hangul Syllables block, it was encoded in Unicode version 2.0 to ensure all possible modern and historial syllable combinations are digitally representable.
