U+C6F7 "웷" Hangul Syllable Welh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
웷
U+C6F7 "웷" Hangul Syllable Welh is a specific syllable in the modern Korean writing system, composed of the initial consonant "ㅇ" (ieung, which is silent), the medial vowel "ㅞ" (we), and the final consonant "ㅀ" (rieul-hieuh, a double consonant cluster). As part of the Hangul Syllables block, this character was added to Unicode to represent a complete phonetic unit, allowing for accurate digital text representation of Korean. While it is a valid and encoded syllable, "웷" is exceptionally rare in contemporary Korean usage, as the "ㅞ" vowel and the "ㅀ" final consonant cluster appear only in a few unusual or obsolete words.
