Unicode Version 17.0
웳
U+C6F3 "웳" Hangul Syllable Welb is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅇ" (a silent placeholder), the medial vowel "ㅔ" (pronounced like the "e" in "bet"), and the final consonant "ㄹㅂ" (the cluster "lb"). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes complete syllables formed from the basic jamo components of the Korean alphabet. It is used in written Korean to represent the sound "welb," though it is not a common syllable in everyday vocabulary, occurring instead in specific words, loanwords, or contexts requiring the precise rendering of such a phonetic sequence.
