Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+CF96 "" Hangul Syllable Kwaelm is a relatively obscure and rarely used syllable in modern Korean, representing the theoretical combination of the initial consonant 'ㅋ' (k), the medial vowel 'ㅙ' (wae), and the final consonant 'ㄻ' (lm) to form a phonetic block that is not found in standard contemporary vocabulary. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it exists primarily to complete the systematic encoding of all possible syllable combinations in the Korean writing system, even those that have no practical application in everyday language. This character is not included in standard Korean word lists or keyboards, serving instead as a placeholder within the comprehensive Unicode standard that allows for full representation of theoretical linguistic patterns in digital text.
