U+CF14 "켔" Hangul Syllable Kess Unicode Character
U+CF14 "켔" Hangul Syllable Kess is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing the Korean sound "kess" or "kkeot," formed from the initial consonant ㅋ (kieuk), the vowel ㅔ (e), and the final consonant ㅆ (ssangssiot). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes completed Korean syllable forms for efficient text processing and display. In modern Korean, "켔" is not a common standalone word but may appear as a morpheme or in archaic or specialized contexts, such as in certain verb conjugations or loanword transcriptions. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that all standard Dubeolsik and Sebulsik keyboard input methods, as well as legacy Korean character sets like KS X 1001, can reliably represent this specific syllable in digital text.
