U+C6EE "웮" Hangul Syllable Wenh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
웮
U+C6EE "웮" Hangul Syllable Wenh is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, used for writing the Korean language. It represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅇ" (a silent placeholder in initial position, though here it acts as a null onset), the medial vowel "ㅞ" (a diphthong pronounced "weh" or "we"), and the final consonant "ㄶ" (the consonant "ㄴ" followed by "ㅎ," which together create a tense or aspirated ending sound). As a single codepoint in the Hangul Syllables block, it encodes a specific phonetic unit that simplifies text processing and rendering compared to using separate jamo components.
