U+D5E6 "헦" Hangul Syllable Hegg Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+D5E6 "헦" Hangul Syllable Hegg is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅎ" (hieut), the medial vowel "ㅔ" (e), and the final consonant "ㄲ" (ssang giyeok). This syllable represents the phonetic sound "hegg," which is an uncommon but valid construct in Korean phonology, where the double final consonant ㄲ creates a tensed and unreleased pronunciation at the end of a syllable. Like all Hangul syllables in the Unicode standard, this character is part of the Hangul Syllables block (U+AC00 to U+D7AF), which encodes each possible syllable as a single precomposed code point for efficient text processing and digital typography. Though rarely used in everyday vocabulary, the character exists as a theoretical and orthographically legitimate combination within the systematic structure of the Korean alphabet.
