U+C64A "왊" Hangul Syllable Walm Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C64A "왊" Hangul Syllable Walm is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script used for writing the Korean language, specifically representing the phonetic sound "walm." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅇ" (a silent onset character in syllable-initial position when representing a vowel-initial sound, though here it serves as part of the glide), the medial vowel "ㅘ" (a compound vowel "wa"), and the final consonant "ㄻ" (the cluster "lm"). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllable combinations of the Korean alphabet, and it is rarely used in modern Korean vocabulary, primarily appearing in specialized or historical contexts.
