U+117A "ᅺ" Hangul Jungseong Eo-O Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᅺ
U+117A "ᅺ" Hangul Jungseong Eo-O is a combining vowel character used in the modern Korean alphabet, Hangul, to represent the sound of the diphthong "eo" followed by "o," a rare and mostly obsolete vowel combination found primarily in historical or archaic Korean texts. This character functions as a medial vowel (jungseong), meaning it is placed in the middle of a syllable block, and it is composed of two distinct vowel elements that together create a unique phonetic value no longer standard in contemporary Korean speech. As part of the Hangul Jamo block, it is intended for scholarly or linguistic use, allowing accurate representation of older written forms of the Korean language.
