U+B648 "뙈" Hangul Syllable Ddwae Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B648 "뙈" Hangul Syllable Ddwae is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㄸ" (a tense, double 'd' sound) and the medial vowel "ㅙ" (a diphthong pronounced like 'wae' or 'we'). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it is encoded as a single codepoint rather than being formed by combining individual jamo characters, which allows for more efficient text processing. This syllable is used in written Korean to represent specific lexical items or grammatical forms, though it is relatively uncommon in everyday vocabulary compared to more frequent syllables like "가" or "나."
