U+D672 "홲" Hangul Syllable Hwaegg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
홲
U+D672 "홲" Hangul Syllable Hwaegg is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system, representing a specific phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅎ" (h), the medial vowel "ㅙ" (wae), and the final consonant "ㄲ" (kk). This syllable is not commonly used in everyday Korean vocabulary, as it appears in relatively rare or specialized linguistic contexts, such as in transliterations or phonetic transcriptions. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard under the Hangul Syllables block ensures consistent digital representation across platforms, preserving the structural logic of Korean orthography where syllable blocks are formed by combining individual jamo characters into a single encoded unit.
