U+C65A "왚" Hangul Syllable Wap Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
왚
U+C65A "왚" Hangul Syllable Wap is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script used for writing the Korean language. It represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "w" (ㅝ) and the final consonant "p" (ㅂ), though this specific syllable is no longer commonly used in standard modern Korean. The character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block (U+AC00 to U+D7AF), which encodes all possible combinations of Korean jamo into individual, precomposed forms for efficient text processing. Its formal name reflects its linguistic reconstruction as a sound in Middle Korean or in certain dialectal or archaic contexts, where such syllables were more prevalent.
