U+CF3B "켻" Hangul Syllable Kyegs Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
켻
U+CF3B "켻" Hangul Syllable Kyegs is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, specifically encoding the sound represented by the initial consonant “ㅋ” (kieuk, resembling a ‘k’ sound), the medial vowel “ㅖ” (ye, a diphthong), and the final consonant “ㄳ” (a double final consonant cluster of giyeok and siot). This syllable, while valid in Korean orthography and included for the sake of complete syllabic coverage in Unicode, is exceedingly rare in standard modern Korean vocabulary and appears primarily in specialized linguistic contexts or archaic transcriptions, thus representing the systematic but often unused reach of the Hangul syllabary block.
