U+B1C3 "뇃" Hangul Syllable Nwaes Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
뇃
U+B1C3 "뇃" Hangul Syllable Nwaes is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, formed by combining the initial consonant 니 (nieun, representing the sound "n"), the medial vowel ㅘ (wa, a diphthong), and the final consonant ㅅ (siot, representing "s"), resulting in the phonetic value "nwaes." This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of initial, vowel, and final jamo in the Korean writing system. While it is a valid and standardized syllable in the Unicode repertoire, it is relatively rare in contemporary Korean usage, as such combinations are often expressed more transparently by concatenating individual jamo in plain text.
