Unicode Version 17.0
왂
U+C642 "왂" Hangul Syllable Wagg is a precomposed Hangul syllable used in the Korean writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "wa" (ㅘ) followed by the final consonant "gg" (ㄲ). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic blocks formed by combining Korean jamo letters. In practical usage, "왂" is a relatively rare syllable but serves as an example of how Unicode efficiently encodes the complete set of modern Hangul syllables, allowing for accurate digital representation of Korean text without requiring separate jamo composition.
