U+ADAB "궫" Hangul Syllable Gwed Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
궫
U+ADAB "궫" Hangul Syllable Gwed is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system of the Korean language, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g) with the medial vowel "ㅞ" (we) and the final consonant "ㄷ" (d). This character represents a specific phonetic unit that would correspond to a unique syllable sound, though it is notably uncommon or even obsolete in standard contemporary Korean vocabulary, as the combination "gwed" does not occur in commonly used words. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate digital representation of historical texts, linguistic studies, or rare transcriptions where such a syllable might appear.
