Unicode Version 17.0
쿀
U+CFC0 "쿀" Hangul Syllable Koek is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script used for the Korean language, representing the sound "koek." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk), the medial vowel "ㅚ" (oe), and the final consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk) as a batchim, resulting in a single encoded character rather than a sequence of jamo components. This syllable is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which contains 11,172 precomposed syllables arranged in a systematic order based on the Korean alphabet's phonetic structure. While "쿀" is a valid and correctly formed syllable, it is not commonly used in modern Korean vocabulary, as it does not appear in frequent everyday words.
