U+AF4A "꽊" Hangul Syllable Ggwagg Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+AF4A "꽊" Hangul Syllable Ggwagg is a precomposed Korean Hangul syllable that represents the sound "ggwagg" formed from the initial consonant "gg" (a tensed version of "g" using the jamo ᄁ), the medial vowel "wa" (ㅘ), and the final consonant "gg" (a tensed "g" coda using the jamo ᆩ). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is used in the modern Korean writing system, primarily within the Microsoft Windows code page 949 environment, though it is extremely rare in actual Korean text, as the combination is not a standard word or widely used syllable in contemporary vocabulary. Its inclusion reflects Unicode's comprehensive encoding of all possible precomposed syllables in the Korean writing system.
