U+C67A "왺" Hangul Syllable Oegg Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C67A "왺" Hangul Syllable Oegg is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system, representing a specific combination of the initial consonant "ㅇ" (a silent placeholder), the medial vowel "ㅚ" (which sounds like "oe" or "we"), and the final consonant "ㄲ" (a tense, double "k" sound). Because Hangul syllables are organized in blocks, this character allows text processing systems to display the complex three-part syllable as a single, indivisible unit rather than composing it from separate jamo characters. Although extremely rare in modern Korean usage, "왺" is formally encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Hangul Syllables block, which includes over 11,000 precomposed syllables to support the full range of possible phonetic combinations in the Korean language.
