U+C6D6 "웖" Hangul Syllable Weolm Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
웖
U+C6D6 "웖" Hangul Syllable Weolm is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, formed from the initial consonant ㅇ (ieung, representing a silent onset or the sound /ŋ/ when syllable-final), the medial vowel ㅝ (weo, a diphthong pronounced /wʌ/), and the final consonant cluster ㄻ (rieul-mieum, representing the sound sequence /lm/). This syllable belongs to the Hangul Syllables block of Unicode, which systematically encodes all possible combinations of Korean lead, vowel, and tail jamos. The character "웖" is used in written Korean to represent a specific syllable sound that occurs when a stem-final consonant cluster combines with vowel-initial suffixes, and it is a valid but rare syllable in contemporary Korean vocabulary.
