U+C693 "욓" Hangul Syllable Oeh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
욓
U+C693 "욓" Hangul Syllable Oeh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "oeh" or "weh" with an aspirated initial consonant. It is formed by combining the Hangul jamo 초성 (initial consonant) ㅇ (silent), 중성 (vowel) ㅚ (oe), and 종성 (final consonant) ㅎ (h), which together create a single, fully rendered character block. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is used in written Korean for lexical purposes, though it is relatively uncommon in everyday vocabulary compared to more frequent syllables. Its inclusion ensures that all possible precomposed Hangul syllables, as standardized in modern Korean orthography, are available for digital text processing and typography.
