U+B00B "뀋" Hangul Syllable Ggweh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
뀋
U+B00B "뀋" Hangul Syllable Ggweh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "ggweh." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ᄁ (ssanggiyeok, a tensed "g" sound), the medial vowel ㅞ (we, a diphthong), and the final consonant ᄒ (hieut, an "h" sound). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is used primarily in written Korean to represent a specific phonetic combination that may appear in native or loan words, though it is relatively rare in everyday vocabulary. Its existence highlights how Unicode efficiently encodes the vast array of syllabic blocks that make up the Korean script, which was designed to be logical and scientifically structured.
