U+D02C "퀬" Hangul Syllable Kwess Unicode Character
U+D02C "퀬" Hangul Syllable Kwess is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "kwess" by combining the initial consonant ㅋ (kieuk), the medial vowel ㅞ (we), and the final consonant cluster ㅆ (ssang ssiot). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block, which was designed to encode complete syllabic blocks as single code points for efficient text processing.
