U+C66E "왮" Hangul Syllable Waebs Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
왮
U+C66E "왮" Hangul Syllable Waebs is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, Hangul. It represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅇ" (a placeholder for a vowel-initial sound), the medial vowel "ㅙ" (a diphthong pronounced like "wae" combining elements of "ㅗ" and "ㅐ"), and the final consonant "ㅄ" (which is pronounced as "bs" but in standard Korean is typically realized as a single consonant "p" at the end of a syllable). This specific syllable is not commonly used in everyday Korean vocabulary but exists as part of the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean lead, vowel, and tail consonants (jamo) for digital text and linguistic representation.
