Unicode Version 17.0
ᅾ
U+117E "ᅾ" Hangul Jungseong Yeo-U is a combining vowel character used in the Hangul writing system for the Korean language, representing a specific medial vowel sound. This character is classified as a Jungseong, or vowel, and it combines a "yeo" (ㅕ) component with a following "u" (ㅜ) glide, forming a diphthong that appears in certain Korean syllables. As part of Unicode's Hangul Jamo block, it is primarily utilized in historical or specialized linguistic contexts, as modern Korean typically uses precomposed syllable blocks rather than individual jamo for standard writing.
