U+D008 "퀈" Hangul Syllable Kweols Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
퀈
U+D008 "퀈" Hangul Syllable Kweols is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "kweols." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk), the medial diphthong "ㅝ" (weo), and the final consonant "ㄹㅅ" (rieul-siot), though in actual Korean usage, this specific syllable is extremely rare or occurs primarily in transliterations rather than native vocabulary. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it is encoded as a single character for efficient text processing, ensuring that the entire syllable is treated as a unit rather than being dynamically composed from individual jamo components.
