Unicode Version 17.0
홠
U+D660 "홠" Hangul Syllable Hwals is a precomposed syllable representing the Korean sound "hwals," which is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅎ (h), the medial vowel ㅘ (wa), and the final consonant ㄹㅅ (ls). This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, a system that encodes each complete Korean syllable as a distinct character to facilitate digital text processing. As a rarely used syllable in modern Korean, "홠" typically appears in historical texts, specialized vocabulary, or phonetic transcriptions rather than common everyday language. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that even obscure or archaic Korean syllables can be accurately represented and preserved in digital environments.
