U+B6E8 "뛨" Hangul Syllable Ddwess Unicode Character
U+B6E8 "뛨" Hangul Syllable Ddwess is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language, representing the phonetic sound "ddwess" as a combination of the initial consonant cluster "ㄸ" (a tensed "d" sound), the medial vowel "ㅞ" (a diphthong pronounced like "weh"), and the final consonant "ㅆ" (a tensed "ss" sound). It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block of the Unicode standard, which encodes all 11,172 possible syllabic blocks formed from the Korean alphabet's initial consonants, medial vowels, and final consonants.
