U+116C "ᅬ" Hangul Jungseong Oe Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᅬ
U+116C "ᅬ" Hangul Jungseong Oe is a combining vowel character used in the Korean writing system to represent the diphthong sound /ø/ or /we/, formed by combining the basic vowel elements for "o" and "i". As a Jungseong, or medial vowel, it appears in the middle position of a Hangul syllable block, where it combines with initial and final consonants to create full syllables, such as in the word "괴" (goe). This character is part of the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block in Unicode, which encodes precomposed vowel and consonant letters that may not be directly accessible on standard keyboards but are essential for accurate text rendering in older or specialized Korean digital contexts.
