Unicode Version 17.0

U+AF4D "꽍" Hangul Syllable Ggwanj is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul script, representing the sound "ggwanj" which combines the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tense double "g" sound), the medial vowel "ㅘ" (the diphthong "wa"), and the final consonant "ㄵ" (the cluster "nj"). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which includes all possible syllabic combinations of initial, medial, and final jamo characters used in modern and historic Korean writing. As a precomposed form, it simplifies text processing and display by encoding the entire syllable as a single code point rather than requiring separate combining sequences for each jamo.
