U+C65E "왞" Hangul Syllable Waegg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
왞
U+C65E "왞" Hangul Syllable Waegg is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language, formed by combining the initial consonant ㅇ (a silent placeholder), the medial vowel ㅙ (wae), and the final consonant ㄲ (a tensed double gg). This specific syllable represents the sound "waegg" and is part of the extensive Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean jamo characters into single code points for efficient text processing. While not commonly used in everyday modern Korean vocabulary, it exemplifies the systematic, compositional nature of Hangul where over 11,000 distinct syllables can be formed from a relatively small set of alphabetic letters.
