Unicode Version 17.0
웤
U+C6E4 "웤" Hangul Syllable Weok is a precomposed syllable used in the Korean writing system, representing the sound "weok," which is a combination of the initial consonant "ㅇ" (silent when initial), the medial vowel "ㅝ" (weo), and the final consonant "ㅋ" (k). This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes modern and premodern Korean syllables by mapping each distinct combination of initial, medial, and final jamo to its own code point for efficient text handling. "웤" is not a common syllable in modern Korean, and its use is primarily confined to specific linguistic or historical contexts rather than everyday vocabulary.
