ㆇ

• IPA^(key): /*jwa/, /*wia/ (hypothetical)

ㆇ (ywa)

1. A digraph of ㅛ (ywo) and ㅑ (ya).

• This digraph was never actually used. King Sejong, the inventor of the Korean alphabet, used it only as a hypothetical example to demonstrate how letters could combine to represent sequences of vowels. The hypothetical triphthong is not possible in Middle Korean and does not represent any Middle Chinese medial.
