U+1185 "ᆅ" Hangul Jungseong Yo-Yae Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1185 "ᆅ" Hangul Jungseong Yo-Yae is a historical or obsolete vowel character from the Hangul script, representing a composite medial vowel sound that combines elements of "yo" and "yae" (ᅭ and ᅤ) but is no longer used in modern Korean orthography. Also known as a "yoyae" or "yo-yae" digraph, it appears primarily in older Korean texts and linguistic reconstructions, where it was employed to transcribe specific phonetic distinctions that have since merged into other vowel sounds in contemporary Korean. This character is part of the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block, used for legacy compatibility with earlier encoding systems, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures that historical documents and scholarly works can be accurately preserved and represented in digital form.
