U+CEE5 "컥" Hangul Syllable Keog Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
컥
U+CEE5 "컥" Hangul Syllable Keog is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing the Korean sound "keok", which combines the initial consonant ㅋ (kieuk, making a "k" sound), the medial vowel ㅓ (eo, as in "uh"), and the final consonant ㄱ (giyeok, a "k" or "g" sound at the end of a syllable). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes modern Korean syllables based on the standard composition of initial, medial, and final jamo characters. The syllable "컥" itself is a valid but relatively rare word in Korean, often used in onomatopoeic expressions or as a stylized spelling for a coughing or choking sound, similar to "keok" in English.
