U+C73E "윾" Hangul Syllable Eugg Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C73E "윾" Hangul Syllable Eugg is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul orthography, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant “ㅇ” (a silent placeholder in syllable-initial position), the medial vowel “ㅡ” (eu), and the final consonant “ㄱ” (g). This syllable, though valid in the Korean writing system, is not commonly used in standard Korean vocabulary and appears mainly in specialized contexts such as linguistic transcription, archaic or dialectal forms, or when spelling out foreign loanwords phonetically. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that all linguistically valid Hangul syllables are digitally representable, preserving the complete set of possible syllabic blocks defined in the Korean script.
