U+CFEF "쿯" Hangul Syllable Kulh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+CFEF "쿯" Hangul Syllable Kulh is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul writing system, representing the Korean sound "kulh." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk), the medial vowel "ㅜ" (u), and the final consonant "ㅀ" (rieul-hieuh), which is a complex batchim that gives the syllable its distinct pronunciation. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is used in written Korean to accurately represent lexical forms and sound changes, though it appears relatively infrequently compared to more common syllables in modern Korean texts. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper text encoding, display, and processing across digital platforms for languages that require Hangul characters.
