U+118C "ᆌ" Hangul Jungseong U-Ye Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+118C "ᆌ" Hangul Jungseong U-Ye is a modern Hangul vowel letter representing the diphthong sound "ɰi" or "u͡i" in Korean phonology, formed by combining the basic vowel "u" with "i" gliding together in a single syllable. This character belongs to the Hangul Jamo block of Unicode, specifically classified as a Jungseong (medial vowel) that appears as a graphical component in the composition of Korean syllabic blocks. While it is encoded as a standalone jamo for historical or technical purposes, it is rarely used in contemporary standard Korean orthography, as the intended sound is typically represented instead by a combination of other modern vowel jamo in actual writing. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper representation in digital systems for linguistic analysis, historical texts, or specialized phonetic transcription.
