U+CF97 "쾗" Hangul Syllable Kwaelb Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
쾗
U+CF97 "쾗" Hangul Syllable Kwaelb is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant “ㅋ” (k), the medial vowel “ㅙ” (wae), and the final consonant “ㄼ” (lb). This specific syllable is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic blocks formed from the Korean alphabet according to the standard compositional rules. Although it is a valid and structurally complete character in the Unicode standard, “쾗” is rarely used in contemporary Korean vocabulary, as it does not commonly appear in everyday words or texts, making it an obscure but technically accurate representation of Korean phonology.
