halfwidth hangul letter oe

Halfwidth Hangul Letter Oe

ￏ is the halfwidth compatibility form of ㅚ, the Korean vowel letter oe. It is a standalone letter, not a complete syllable. It remains for compatibility with older Korean character coding; modern Korean input uses ordinary Jamo and complete syllable blocks. A font may not display it correctly.

What ￏ means

It is a halfwidth compatibility form of ㅚ, the Korean vowel oe. Jamo are Korean letters that combine into syllable blocks; this character stands alone and is not used to build one. In data, it signals compatibility-form Korean text.

The documented standards trail leads to Annex 4’s 7-bit Hangul code in South Korea’s KS C 5601/KS X 1001, with an arrangement matching the 1987 standard. It supported compatibility with that code and narrow-cell layouts, rather than introducing a new spelling. Its reading stayed oe while its computing role shifted from legacy representation to Unicode compatibility and normalization.

Technical and legacy-coded: in contemporary Korean text, it reads as compatibility data rather than a stylistic choice.

It is only the standalone vowel component, not a complete Korean syllable.

The conjoining Hangul vowel Jamo used by processing algorithms; it has a different code point.
외
Hangul Syllable Oe
A complete syllable block with an initial ㅇ and the oe vowel; ￏ alone cannot stand in for it.
