U+CFCF "쿏" Hangul Syllable Kyolb Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+CFCF "쿏" Hangul Syllable Kyolb is a specific precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system Hangul, formed by combining the initial consonant “ᄏ” (representing the aspirated velar plosive “k”), the medial vowel “ᅭ” (representing the diphthong “yo”), and the final consonant “ᆲ” (a complex coda comprising a double consonant that sounds like “lb” in Korean phonetics, pronounced as a tensed or fortis “l” followed by a “b” release). This syllable is used in Korean vocabulary, such as in the word “꿉다” (kkyeopda, meaning to roast or to bake), where it functions as a standard orthographic unit in written Korean, following the Unicode Standard’s Hangul Syllables block which encodes all possible syllable combinations for efficient digital text representation.
