U+CED3 "컓" Hangul Syllable Kyaelb Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
컓
U+CED3 "컓" Hangul Syllable Kyaelb is a composite syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "kyae-lb." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk), the vowel "ㅒ" (yae), and the final consonant cluster "ㄼ" (rieul-bieup), which together produce a syllable that is valid in Korean phonology but extremely rare in actual vocabulary. This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes precomposed syllables to facilitate text processing and display. While it has a defined code point and phonetic structure, "컓" is not commonly used in everyday Korean language, serving more as a theoretical or typographical construct within the comprehensive syllabary.
