U+114B "ᅋ" Hangul Choseong Ieung-Phieuph Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᅋ
U+114B "ᅋ" Hangul Choseong Ieung-Phieuph is a rare and historic Hangul Jamo used to represent a compound initial consonant in the Korean writing system, combining the sounds of the letters ieung (a silent or ng sound) and phieuph (an aspirated bilabial sound). This character belongs to the category of digraphs in ancient or medieval Korean orthography, where two consonants were merged into a single complex Jamo to accurately transcribe phonetic details that are no longer present in modern spoken Korean. It serves as a linguistic artifact for researchers studying historical phonology and the evolution of the Hangul script, and it does not have a current usage in everyday writing or typing in South or North Korea.
