Unicode Version 17.0
ᆀ
U+1180 "ᆀ" Hangul Jungseong O-E is a jamo, or a component letter, used in the Korean writing system Hangul to represent a specific vowel sound. It is classified as a Jungseong, meaning it functions as a medial vowel within a syllabic block, and it combines with an initial consonant to form a syllable. This particular jamo encodes the obsolete or archaic vowel sound "O-E," which represents a diphthong formed from the vowels "o" and "e." While it is not used in modern standard Korean, it is an important part of historical texts and linguistic studies of Middle Korean, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper digital representation and preservation of old Korean manuscripts.
