Unicode Version 17.0
ᅰ
U+1170 "ᅰ" Hangul Jungseong We is a component of the Korean Hangul writing system, specifically a modern vowel known as a "jungseong" or medial. It is composed of two basic vowel elements, a ㅡ (eu) and a ㅔ (e), and represents the sound "we." This character is used exclusively as a building block to form complete Hangul syllables when combined with an initial consonant (choseong) and, optionally, a final consonant (jongseong), and it was officially introduced as part of Unicode's Hangul Syllables block to support the full repertoire of the Korean script.
