Hangul syllable Ggyeong

By itself, 꼉 represents a syllable sound; its Korean word supplies meaning.

Unicode decomposes 꼉 into ᄁ, ᅧ, ᆼ. Hangul fonts may draw the block differently.

Hangul's creation is first recorded in 1443; its guide, Hunminjeongeum, was published in 1446. Before Hangul, systems such as idu, hyangchal and gugyeol adapted Chinese characters for Korean. Hangul instead combines sound letters into syllable blocks, a better fit for spoken Korean, and became the dominant Korean script in the modern period.
