왪
U+C66A "왪" Hangul Syllable Waelp is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, used for writing the Korean language. It represents the phonetic sound "waelp," formed by combining the initial consonant ㅇ (a placeholder for a vowel-initial syllable), the medial vowel ㅙ (a diphthong pronounced like "wae"), and the final consonant ㅍ (representing a final "p" sound). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in the Unicode standard, this character allows digital text systems to display or process the syllable as a single encoded unit, commonly appearing in Korean texts or transliterations, though it is relatively rare in everyday modern usage.
