Unicode Version 17.0
켗
U+CF17 "켗" Hangul Syllable Kec is a precomposed Hangul syllable from the modern Korean alphabet, formed by combining the initial consonant ㅋ (kieuk), the vowel ㅔ (e), and the final consonant ㅊ (chieut). In standard Korean phonology, it represents the sound [kʰetɕʰ] but it is not a commonly used or productive syllable in contemporary Korean vocabulary, appearing primarily in specialized or transliterated contexts. As a precomposed syllable, it is encoded as a single Unicode scalar value to facilitate efficient text processing and compatibility with legacy character sets, following the standard Hangul syllable block arrangement in the Unicode standard.
