U+CD31 "촱" Hangul Syllable Cwalt Unicode Character
U+CD31 "촱" Hangul Syllable Cwalt is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, used for writing the Korean language. It represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅊ" (chieut), the medial vowel "ㅘ" (wa), and the final consonant "ㄾ" (rieul thieut), resulting in the sound "cwalt." This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible consonant-vowel-consonant combinations in the Korean alphabet, and it is typically displayed as a single, square-shaped block in Korean typography, following the standard rules of syllable formation and character classification. While not among the most common syllables in everyday Korean text, it exemplifies the systematic and logical structure of the Hangul writing system, where individual jamo (letters) are combined into syllabic units.
