U+3131 "" Hangul Letter Kiyeok is the first consonant in the Korean alphabet, Hangul, and represents the sound /k/ at the beginning of a syllable and /ɡ/ in certain voiced contexts. It is classified as a "Hangul Compatibility Jamo" in the Unicode standard, which means it is a separate code point from the modern Korean Standard Hangul Jamo (used for forming modern syllables) and is primarily intended for backward compatibility with older Korean encoding systems. The glyph resembles a simple angled stroke, like a right angle rotated slightly clockwise, and it serves as the basic building block for many other Hangul consonants when modified or doubled.
