U+ADA9 "궩" Hangul Syllable Gwenj Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
궩
U+ADA9 "궩" Hangul Syllable Gwenj is a specific precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system for the Korean language, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g), the medial vowel "ㅞ" (we), and the final consonant "ㄴ" (n), according to the standard Korean orthography established in Unicode's Hangul Syllables block. It is pronounced with a "gwenj" sound, though it is an extremely rare and nonstandard character in contemporary Korean, as the syllable "궨" (gwen) is typically used instead, making "궩" more of an encoding artifact or a character found in specialized historical or technical contexts rather than everyday vocabulary.
