쾘
U+CF98 "쾘" Hangul Syllable Kwaels is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed from the initial consonant ㅋ (kieuk), the medial vowel ㅙ (wae), and the final consonant ㄹ (rieul). It represents the phonetic sound "kwaels" and is encoded in the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, which follows a systematic pattern where syllables are arranged algorithmically based on their leading consonant, vowel, and trailing consonant components. While this specific syllable is relatively rare in everyday modern Korean vocabulary, its inclusion in Unicode ensures that all valid combinations of Korean jamo can be digitally represented and displayed consistently across platforms.
