U+AF7D "꽽" Hangul Syllable Ggwaet Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+AF7D "꽽" Hangul Syllable Ggwaet is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, representing the Korean sound "ggwaet." This character is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (ssanggiyeok, a tense "g" sound), the medial vowel "ㅙ" (wae), and the final consonant "ㅌ" (tieut, a "t" sound), resulting in a syllable that is phonetically distinct within the Korean writing system. As part of the Unicode Standard's Hangul Syllables block, it is used in modern Korean text to encode a specific lexical unit, though it is relatively rare in everyday vocabulary, appearing mainly in specialized or historical contexts.
