Hangul Jongseong Kiyeok Letter Meaning
Hangul characters are built from components. ᆨ is the jongseong (final consonant) form called “Kiyeok.” In Hangul syllable construction, it contributes a consonant sound at the end of a syllable (often described as a “k” or hard “g/k” ending, depending on the surrounding syllable and pronunciation conventions). Because it is a jamo, it’s commonly used in typing systems, text processing, fonts, and linguistic or typographic work that needs to represent Hangul components directly rather than only the composed syllables.
