Unicode Version 17.0
콹
U+CF79 "콹" Hangul Syllable Kwalg is a precomposed Korean syllable formed from the initial consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk), the medial vowel "ㅘ" (wa), and the final consonant "ㄺ" (rieul-giyeok). This syllable does not correspond to a common standalone word in modern Korean, as its phonetic structure represents a consonant cluster ending that is rare in contemporary usage. Its primary role is to serve as a functional element within the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, ensuring complete coverage for all possible syllabic forms in the Korean writing system. This character allows for consistent digital representation and typographic rendering of the Korean language, even for syllables that are infrequently or never used in actual speech or text.
