U+C70D "윍" Hangul Syllable Wilg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
윍
U+C70D "윍" Hangul Syllable Wilg is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul block, representing the Korean sound combination of initial consonant "w" (from the Glide "wa" in some analyses, but technically a "wi" or "we" like onset), the vowel "i", and the final consonant "lg" which is the digraph "ㄺ" pronounced as a velar lateral or simply "lg" in standard Korean phonology. This specific syllable is rarely used in modern Korean vocabulary, as it primarily appears in specialized linguistic contexts or historical texts rather than everyday speech, and its existence underscores the systematic nature of the Hangul writing system, which allows for the formal encoding of all possible syllable combinations in the Unicode Standard.
