Unicode Version 17.0
웅
U+C6C5 "웅" Hangul Syllable Ung is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul script, representing the sound "ung" as in the English word "young" but with a deeper, rounded vowel. It is formed from the initial consonant ㅇ (ieung, which is silent when initial), the vowel ㅜ (u), and the final consonant ㅇ (ieung, pronounced as the velar nasal /ŋ/). This character is commonly used in Korean words, such as in the name "Woong" or in the word "웅장하다" (ungjanghada) meaning "magnificent" or "grand." As part of the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, it allows for efficient text representation without needing to combine individual jamo characters.
