Unicode Version 17.0

U+D025 "퀥" Hangul Syllable Kwelt is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "kwelt". It is formed by combining the initial consonant ᄏ (kieuk, representing a "k" sound), the medial vowel ㅞ (we, a diphthong pronounced like "we"), and the final consonant ᆯ (rieul, representing an "l" sound). As part of the Hangul Syllables block, this character was added to Unicode to encode the complete set of logically possible syllable blocks in the standard Korean orthography, allowing for direct representation of such syllables without requiring separate consonant and vowel joining. Its inclusion facilitates accurate digital text processing, display, and interchange for Korean language content.
