U+3158 "ㅘ" Hangul Letter Wa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+3158 "ㅘ" Hangul Letter Wa is a precomposed Hangul jamo representing the Korean syllable located in the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block, which was designed for compatibility with legacy Korean character sets like KS X 1001. This character is a compound vowel, formed by combining the basic Hangul jamo for "o" (ㅗ) and "a" (ㅏ), and it is used to write the sound "wa" in modern Korean. As part of the Compatibility Jamo block, it is distinct from the standard modern Hangul jamo used for syllable composition, serving primarily in older systems and specific contexts rather than in contemporary Unicode text encoding for Korean.
