U+D656 "홖" Hangul Syllable Hwagg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
홖
U+D656 "홖" Hangul Syllable Hwagg is a specific precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅎ" (h), the vowel "ㅘ" (wa), and the doubled final consonant "ㄲ" (gg). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations formed from the modern Korean alphabet according to the standard syllabification rules. While it is a valid and correctly encoded Hangul syllable, "홖" is extremely rare in actual Korean language usage, primarily existing as a theoretically possible form within the writing system's combinatorial structure rather than as a common or meaningful word in contemporary vocabulary.
