U+CF18 "켘" Hangul Syllable Kek Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
켘
U+CF18 "켘" Hangul Syllable Kek is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic sound "kek". It is formed by combining the initial consonant ᄏ (chieut, aspirated 'k' or 'kh'), the vowel ㅔ (e, a mid-front unrounded vowel), and the final consonant ᆨ (giyeok, pronounced as a final 'k' or stop). This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, and it is used in written Korean to represent a syllable that may appear in various words or loanword transcriptions, though it is relatively less common in everyday vocabulary. As a precomposed form, it allows for efficient text rendering without needing separate combination of jamo (individual Hangul letters).
