Hangul Jungseong A-u Letter Meaning
ᅷ is the Unicode Hangul Jungseong A-U, with codepoint U+1177. As a Jungseong, it represents a vowel component used in Hangul syllable construction (it is typically combined with an initial consonant and, optionally, a final consonant). In everyday Korean text, you usually see complete syllables rather than standalone jamo, but developers and designers may need this character for accurate text rendering, linguistic data, font testing, or processing strings at the jamo level. When copying, ensure your fonts and systems support Hangul Jamo to avoid fallback or missing glyphs.
Common uses

- •Font testing and glyph verification for Hangul Jamo characters
- •Generating or validating Unicode data for Korean text normalization tasks
