Unicode Version 17.0

U+B023 "뀣" Hangul Syllable Ggwic is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script used for writing the Korean language. It represents the sound "ggwic," formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (ssanggiyeok, a tense /k/ sound) with the medial vowel "ㅟ" (wi, a front rounded vowel) and the final consonant "ㅊ" (chieut, a /t͡ɕʰ/ sound). As part of the Hangul Syllables block, this character is encoded for efficient text processing and display, allowing Korean speakers to write complete syllables as single code points rather than combining individual jamo characters.
