U+D1C8 "퇈" Hangul Syllable Twals Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+D1C8 "퇈" Hangul Syllable Twals is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, used for writing the Korean language. This particular character represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant “ㅌ” (t), the medial vowel “ㅘ” (wa), and the final consonant “ㄽ” (ls), resulting in the sound “twals.” It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in the Unicode standard, which includes all possible syllabic blocks formed from the Korean alphabet. As a precomposed form, it simplifies text processing and display by encoding the entire syllable as a single code point, rather than requiring the combination of individual jamo characters. This character is valid in modern Korean orthography, though its practical usage depends on the frequency of words containing the "twals" sound in written Korean.
