휈
U+D708 "휈" Hangul Syllable Hwels is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "hwels." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅎ (h), the medial vowel ㅞ (we), and the final consonant ㄹ (l), which in modern standard Korean is not a commonly used syllable but belongs to the set of phonologically valid yet rare or obsolete syllables found in older or specialized vocabulary. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which includes all possible modern and historical syllable combinations, and it renders as a single, composite character rather than requiring separate combining marks.
