U+C6FA "웺" Hangul Syllable Webs Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C6FA "웺" Hangul Syllable Webs is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system Hangul, specifically formed by combining the initial consonant ㅇ (ieung, silent or representing no sound in initial position), the medial vowel ㅞ (we, a diphthong), and the final consonant ㅄ (bs, a consonant cluster that is no longer standard in contemporary Korean orthography). This syllable, while technically valid in the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, is considered obsolete or nonstandard because the syllable-final cluster ㅄ does not occur in modern Korean, where such words are typically written without the final consonants or with a single final consonant instead. As a result, 웺 is rarely if ever used in actual Korean text, but its encoding ensures full coverage of all possible syllabic combinations for historical, linguistic, or legacy purposes.
