U+116F "ᅯ" Hangul Jungseong Weo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+116F "ᅯ" Hangul Jungseong Weo is a combining vowel letter used in the Korean Hangul script, specifically representing a single medial vowel sound formed by the combination of the basic vowels "w" and "eo," which is phonetically transcribed as [wʌ] or [wə]. This character does not stand alone but is employed in modern and historical Hangul syllables as one of the eleven compound vowel letters, occupying a position within a syllable block to denote a glide from a back rounded semivowel to a mid central unrounded vowel. It is part of the Hangul Jamo Unicode block and is essential for accurately writing and typing Korean words that contain this specific diphthong sound, such as in the word "괴다" though typically it appears in syllables like "눠" or "뭬". Understanding its role is crucial for proper digital encoding and rendering of Hangul text in computing environments.
