U+D0AC "킬" Hangul Syllable Kil Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
킬
U+D0AC "킬" Hangul Syllable Kil is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, visually representing the phonetic syllable "kil." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk), the vowel "ㅣ" (i), and the final consonant "ㄹ" (rieul), and it belongs to the Hangul Syllables block (U+AC00 to U+D7AF) in the Unicode standard. This character is used in written Korean to denote words such as "길" meaning "road" or "street" when spelled with a different initial consonant, but as "킬" it commonly appears in loanwords or specific terms like "킬러" (killer) or the unit "킬로" (kilo), reflecting its role in representing a foreign or specialized sound within the Korean writing system.
