U+C6E9 "웩" Hangul Syllable Weg is a precomposed South Korean Hangul syllable representing the sound "weg," formed from the initial consonant ㅇ (a silent placeholder or ng sound), the medial vowel ㅞ (we), and the final consonant ㄱ (g/k). In modern Korean, this syllable does not correspond to a common standalone word but may appear as a phonetic component in loanwords, onomatopoeia, or creative writing, such as imitating a retching or gagging sound.
