U+C67C "왼" Hangul Syllable Oen Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
왼
U+C67C "왼" Hangul Syllable Oen is a precomposed syllable from the Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅇ" (silent or 'ng' final), the medial vowel "ㅚ" (oe), and the final consonant "ㄴ" (n), pronounced as "oen" or "wen" in standard Korean. This syllable is used in native Korean vocabulary and often appears in words related to direction or position, most notably in "왼쪽" (oenjjok) meaning "left side." As part of the modern Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it was encoded to facilitate efficient digital text processing of Korean, allowing the syllable to be represented by a single code point rather than requiring separate encoding for its individual jamo components.
