U+D670 "홰" Hangul Syllable Hwae Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
홰
U+D670 "홰" Hangul Syllable Hwae is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul script, representing the sound "hwae". It is formed by combining the initial consonant “ㅎ” (h), the medial vowel “ㅘ” (wa), and the final consonant “ㅇ” (ng) in its closed-syllable form, though the resulting pronunciation is equivalent to "hwae" without a final consonant due to the silent nature of the initial "ㅇ" as a placeholder. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block (U+AC00 to U+D7AF) and is used in written Korean to represent syllables in words such as “홰” meaning a torch or a type of bird, depending on context.
