U+CF1B "켛" Hangul Syllable Keh Unicode Character
U+CF1B "켛" Hangul Syllable Keh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the phonetic sound "keh" (a combination of the initial consonant ㅋ "k" and the vowel ㅔ "eh"). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which systematically encodes all possible syllable blocks formed from the Korean alphabet. Typographically, it appears as a single square glyph, conforming to the standard compositional structure of Hangul where the initial consonant is placed on the top-left and the vowel on the top-right or bottom, depending on the vowel's shape. In digital contexts, it is used for writing Korean text, particularly in words where the syllable "켛" may occur, though it is less common than more frequent syllables in the language.
