U+AF7A "꽺" Hangul Syllable Ggwaej Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꽺
U+AF7A "꽺" Hangul Syllable Ggwaej is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "ggwaej." It is formed from the initial consonant "ㄲ" (ssanggiyeok, a tense and doubled 'g' sound), the medial vowel "ㅙ" (wae, a diphthong combining 'o' and 'ae'), and the final consonant "ㅈ" (jieut, a 'j' sound), resulting in a syllable that does not correspond to a common modern Korean word but highlights the systematic way Hangul combines its basic jamo characters into block syllables. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations of the Korean alphabet to support digital text representation.
