U+C64F "왏" Hangul Syllable Walh Unicode Character
U+C64F "왏" Hangul Syllable Walh is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic sound "walh" with a final /lh/ coda. It is formed by combining the initial consonant ᄋ (a placeholder for the initial vowel sound, effectively making it a null onset), the medial vowel ㅘ (wa), and the final consonant ᆶ (lh), which is a digraph representing a tensed or aspirated lateral sound. This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block of Unicode, which encodes all 11,172 possible syllable combinations of the Korean alphabet in a single, precomposed form for efficient text processing. As a valid but relatively rare syllable, it is primarily used in writing Korean words from native vocabulary or loanword transliterations that require the "walh" sequence.
