U+C6E8 "웨" Hangul Syllable We Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
웨
U+C6E8 "웨" Hangul Syllable We is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "we" as in "wet" without the final consonant. It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅇ (which is silent when placed at the start of a syllable) with the medial vowel ㅞ (a diphthong composed of ㅜ and ㅔ), and it functions as a single, indivisible character in digital text for efficient encoding and display. This syllable appears frequently in Korean vocabulary, including common words like 웨딩 (wedding) and 웨이 (way), and its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent representation across different devices and software for the Korean language.
