U+1171 "ᅱ" Hangul Jungseong Wi Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᅱ
U+1171 "ᅱ" Hangul Jungseong Wi is a combining vowel symbol from the Hangul script, used in the Korean writing system to represent a mid front rounded vowel sound, similar to the 'wi' in the English word "week" but with a more rounded articulation. As a "jungseong," or medial vowel, it is designed to be combined with an initial consonant character, such as in the syllable "위" (wi), to form a complete Hangul syllable block. This character is part of the Hangul Jamo block in Unicode, which encompasses the individual phonetic components that make up the Korean alphabet, and its encoding allows for the precise digital representation and processing of modern and historical Korean text.
