U+1105 "ᄅ" Hangul Choseong Rieul Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1105 "ᄅ" Hangul Choseong Rieul is a typographic symbol representing the initial consonant sound equivalent to a Korean "r" or "l" in the Hangul writing system, specifically as a leading consonant known as a choseong. This character is part of the Unicode Hangul Jamo block, which encodes individual phonetic components used to build syllables in Korean text. In modern usage, "ᄅ" is most commonly deployed in scholarly contexts or specialized software to display or analyze the isolated, uncombined form of the Rieul consonant, as it is distinct from the fully formed syllable characters found in the Hangul Syllables block. Its presence in Unicode ensures that the building blocks of Korean script are digitally preserved for linguistic study, historical documentation, and precise rendering in computing environments.
