What ￖ means
It is the Korean vowel element wi in a legacy halfwidth form.
A 1974 N-byte Hangul code is the earliest historical trail identified for this form. It was later carried into Annex 4 of the KS C 5601/KS X 1001 standard family, for fixed-cell text and data exchange.
The vowel is read “wi.” The related forms ᅱ and ㅟ are Korean jamo forms used in modern text. Compatibility normalization such as NFKC or NFKD maps ￖ to ᅱ, so the halfwidth distinction does not survive.
A technical, legacy-coded form; use an ordinary Korean jamo or syllable in everyday text.
For ordinary Korean writing, use the standard jamo or a complete syllable.
