U+C8B7 "좷" Hangul Syllable Jwaelh is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, used in the Korean language to represent the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅈ" (jieut, sounding like an unaspirated "j"), the medial vowel "ㅙ" (wae, a diphthong pronounced as a glide from "wa" to "e"), and the final consonant "ㅀ" (rieul-hieut, a compound final that produces a "l" sound followed by a soft "h" aspiration).
