Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+B040 "" Hangul Syllable Ggyuk is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tense, double 'gg' sound) and the vowel "ㅠ" (pronounced 'yu' diphthong) followed by the final consonant "ㄱ" (a 'k' sound). This syllable, which appears in the Hangul Syllables block (U+AC00 to U+D7AF) and is encoded for use in written Korean, does not form a common standalone word in contemporary Korean vocabulary but is a valid orthographic unit that could occur in specific compound words or archaic texts. Its structure follows the standard Korean syllabic block formation, arranging the initial consonant at the top left, the vowel to the right, and the final consonant (batchim) at the bottom, exemplifying the systematic encoding of the Korean writing system within Unicode.
