U+AF4F "꽏" Hangul Syllable Ggwad Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꽏
U+AF4F "꽏" Hangul Syllable Ggwad is a single precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, used for writing the Korean language. It represents the phonetic value of "ggwad," which combines the tense/fortis initial consonant "ㄲ" (gg) with the medial vowel "ㅘ" (wa) and the final consonant "ㄷ" (d). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean initial consonants, medial vowels, and final consonants that are valid in standard Hangul orthography. As a composed syllable, it is typically used in lexical contexts rather than as a standalone morpheme, contributing to the systematic representation of Korean phonology in digital text.
