U+CEA5 "캥" Hangul Syllable Kaeng Unicode Character

U+CEA5 "캥" Hangul Syllable Kaeng is a single precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic syllable "kaeng" (pronounced like "kang" with a slight glide). It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ᄏ" (khieukh), the medial vowel "ㅐ" (ae), and the final consonant "ㅇ" (ieung), which together produce a distinct sound used in Korean vocabulary. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, a range that encodes all possible syllabic combinations of the Korean alphabet for efficient text processing and display. In practice, "캥" appears in words such as "캥거루" (kaenggeoru), the Korean term for "kangaroo," making it a recognizable yet less common syllable in everyday usage.
