좥
U+C8A5 "좥" Hangul Syllable Jwat is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, used in the Korean language to represent the phonetic sound "jwat". This character is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅈ (jieut), the medial vowel ㅘ (wa), and the final consonant ㅌ (tieut). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it allows for efficient text encoding and display of Korean writing, which organizes syllables into blocks of individual jamo characters.
