Source: Browser Default
U+3159 "ㅙ" Hangul Letter Wae is a precomposed syllable block representing the Korean vowel sound "wae," which is a diphthong combining the semivowel "w" with the vowel "ae." It belongs to the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block, designed for compatibility with older Korean character encoding systems, and is used in the modern Korean alphabet, Hangul, where it appears as a distinct jamo in syllabic writing. This character corresponds to the Hangul Syllable block code point U+C640 "외" for the syllable "oe," but as a compatibility jamo, it represents the medial vowel component independent of an initial consonant.
