U+C672 "왲" Hangul Syllable Waej Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
왲
U+C672 "왲" Hangul Syllable Waej is a precomposed Hangul syllabic character representing the sound "waej" in modern Korean. It is formed from the initial consonant ㅇ (ieung, which is silent), the medial vowel ㅙ (wae), and the final consonant ㅈ (jieut), combining to create a syllable that appears in the Hangul writing system. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is used in digital text encoding to represent this specific Korean syllable, though it is relatively rare in everyday vocabulary, as the final "j" sound is less common in native Korean words.
