Hangul syllable Keuc

It spells one syllable: starting consonant, vowel, then ending consonant. These Korean letters fit together in one square Hangul block. Unicode NFC, a text-normalization method, can also join their position-specific forms into this precomposed character.

Across the 1443–1447 founding period, Hangul was devised in 1443 to make Korean easier to write than Hanja, the Chinese characters then used in Korean writing; it was officially promulgated in 1446 and printed beside Hanja in books by 1447. Its square syllable blocks let both scripts share a line, and Hangul's role later broadened beyond mixed-script books. 킃 follows that system; it was not invented as a separate emblem.
