뀄
U+B004 "뀄" Hangul Syllable Ggwess is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic sound "ggwess" which begins with a tense double consonant (similar to a hard 'g') and includes a 'w' glide before the vowel 'e' followed by a final 'ss' consonant. It is formed from the initial letter ᄁ (ssang giyeok), the medial vowel 'ㅞ' (we), and the final consonant cluster 'ㅆ' (ssang shiot), combining to create a single block used in written Korean. This syllable is part of the modern Hangul syllabary, which organizes Korean letters into square blocks for efficient representation of the language's complex syllable structure.
