힋
U+D78B "힋" Hangul Syllable Higs is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul script, representing the phonetic sound "higs" through the combination of the initial consonant ㅎ (hieut), the vowel ㅣ (i), and the final consonant cluster ㄳ (giyeok-siot). This character is part of the larger Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes thousands of precomposed Korean syllables for efficient text representation.
