U+1187 "ᆇ" Hangul Jungseong Yo-O Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1187 "ᆇ" Hangul Jungseong Yo-O is a dedicated code point for a specific vowel combination used in the Hangul script, the Korean writing system. It represents a medial vowel sound that is a composite of "yo" (ᅭ) and "o" (ᅩ), functioning as a jungseong or syllable nucleus in the standard orthography of the Korean language. This character is part of the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block, which encodes precomposed jamo forms for compatibility with older text processing systems, though in modern usage this sound is often represented by typing the separate jamo components in sequence. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that historical and scholarly texts using this precise vowel form can be accurately represented and preserved in digital formats.
