U+115D "ᅝ" Hangul Choseong Nieun-Hieuh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+115D "ᅝ" Hangul Choseong Nieun-Hieuh is a combining character used in the Korean Hangul writing system, specifically representing an initial consonant cluster or digraph composed of the sounds for "nieun" (ㄴ) and "hieuh" (ㅎ). This character is part of the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block and is classified as a leading jamo, meaning it occupies the initial (choseong) position in a syllable block. It is used to represent the phonological combination of an [n] sound followed by a [h] sound at the start of a syllable, though its actual usage in modern Korean is very rare, as such clusters are more often written with separate jamo or have evolved in pronunciation over time.
