Unicode Version 17.0
ᄫ
U+112B "ᄫ" Hangul Choseong Kapyeounpieup is a rare and historical Jamo (letter) used in the Korean writing system Hangul, specifically representing a labial consonant known as the "Kapyeounpieup" that was employed in early or Middle Korean orthography to write sounds no longer present in modern standard Korean. This character functions as an initial consonant (choseong) in a syllable block, and its design shows a double-stroke modification of the basic letter "ㅂ" (pieup). While it is not used in contemporary Korean, it holds significant value for linguistic studies of historical phonological changes and for correctly encoding archaic texts.
