U+D70B "휋" Hangul Syllable Hwelh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "hwelh" (IPA: [hwe̞ɭ]) as it would be pronounced in a syllable-final form. This character is formed from the initial consonant ㅎ (hieut), the medial vowel ㅞ (we), and the final consonant cluster ㅀ (rieul-hieut), though the cluster is rarely used in contemporary standard Korean and often appears in historical or specialized vocabulary. As part of the Hangul Syllables block (U+AC00 to U+D7AF), 휋 was included in the Unicode Standard to ensure complete encoding of all possible combinations of Hangul jamo, facilitating digital representation and text processing for the Korean language.
