U+C652 "왒" Hangul Syllable Wabs Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
왒
U+C652 "왒" Hangul Syllable Wabs is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, representing the Korean sound "wabs." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅇ (which is silent in this position), the medial vowel ㅘ (wa), and the final consonant ㅄ (bs), a cluster that is not commonly used in modern standard Korean. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character exists primarily to support historical, archaic, or dialectal Korean text, as well as for compatibility with encoding standards that require single code points for each syllable. Its use in contemporary writing is rare, but it remains a valid component of the comprehensive Korean writing system in digital environments.
