U+CEDD "컝" Hangul Syllable Kyaeng Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+CEDD "컝" Hangul Syllable Kyaeng is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, which is used to write the Korean language. This specific character represents the phonetic combination of the consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk, pronounced as an aspirated /k/ sound) and the vowel "ㅒ" (yae, a diphthong starting with a /j/ glide) followed by the final consonant "ㅇ" (ieung, which in this final position represents the velar nasal /ŋ/ sound). Together, these components produce the syllable "kyaeng," which appears in Korean text for appropriate lexical or phonetic contexts, though it is a relatively rare syllable used in standard modern vocabulary.
