U+AD16 "괖" Hangul Syllable Gwap Unicode Character
U+AD16 "괖" Hangul Syllable Gwap is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, used to write the Korean language, and it represents the phonetic sound "gwap". This character is formed by combining the initial consonant "g" (represented by the jamo ᄀ), the medial vowel "wa" (represented by ᅪ), and the final consonant "p" (represented by ᆸ), which together create a closed syllable. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, U+AD16 is encoded in the range U+AC00 to U+D7AF, which contains all 11,172 possible precomposed Hangul syllable blocks that follow the systematic arrangement of the Korean alphabet's initial, medial, and final letters.
