Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /*jwaj/ (hypothetical)

Letter

ㆈ (yway)

1. A trigraph of ㅛ (ywo), ㅑ (ya), and ㅣ (i).

Usage notes

• This trigraph 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 tetraphthong is not possible in Middle Korean and does not correspond to any Middle Chinese medial.
