홛
U+D65B "홛" Hangul Syllable Hwad is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, representing the sound "hwad." It is formed from the initial consonant ㅎ (hieut), the medial vowel ㅘ (wa), and the final consonant ㄷ (digeut). As part of the Hangul Syllables block, this character is encoded as a single entity to simplify text processing in the Korean writing system, where syllables are typically combined from individual jamo components.

Its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent representation across digital platforms for Korean texts.
