U+B1AF "놯" Hangul Syllable Nwah Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
놯
U+B1AF "놯" Hangul Syllable Nwah is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul orthography, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant “ㄴ” (n), the medial vowel “ㅘ” (wa), and the final consonant “ㅎ” (h), which together produce the sound “nwah.” This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which was designed to encode the tens of thousands of possible syllable blocks in the Korean writing system. While “놯” is a valid and correctly formed syllable according to Hangul composition rules, it is relatively rare in actual Korean vocabulary, often appearing in specialized contexts such as phonetic transcription, linguistic examples, or previously used orthographic variants.
