U+AF71 "꽱" Hangul Syllable Ggwaelt Unicode Character
U+AF71 "꽱" Hangul Syllable Ggwaelt is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language, representing the phonetic sound "ggwaelt." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tense, double version of "ㄱ"), the medial vowel "ㅙ" (a diphthong pronounced like "wae"), and the final consonant "ㄾ" (a cluster of "ㄹ" and "ㅌ" that modifies the syllable's ending sound). This character falls within the Hangul Syllables block of Unicode, which includes all possible combinations of Korean letters arranged in a systematic, algorithmic order. As a less commonly used syllable, it may appear in specialized vocabulary, transliterations, or regional expressions, but it remains a valid part of the Korean orthographic repertoire.
