U+CFE5 "쿥" Hangul Syllable Kunj Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
쿥
U+CFE5 "쿥" Hangul Syllable Kunj is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "kunj." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk), the medial vowel "ㅜ" (u), and the final consonant "ㄴ" (nieun) followed by the additional final "ㅈ" (jieut), resulting in a syllable block that is part of the Hangul Syllables Unicode block, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations of the Korean alphabet. This character is used in written Korean to represent words or morphemes that contain this specific phonetic combination, such as in the verb "쿥다" meaning to take off or dig, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper digital representation and interoperability across modern text systems.
