U+1191 "ᆑ" Hangul Jungseong Yu-Yeo Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1191 "ᆑ" Hangul Jungseong Yu-Yeo is a composite vowel character used in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing the diphthong sound /jʌ/ formed by combining the elements of 'yu' and 'yeo'. It belongs to the Hangul Jamo block of the Unicode standard, which encodes the individual consonant and vowel components of Hangul syllables. Historically, this jamo was utilized in Middle Korean to represent a specific vowel sound that has since merged or shifted in modern Korean, where it is often employed in the transliteration of foreign languages or in linguistic studies. The character itself appears as a vertical and horizontal stroke structure, typical of Hangul's scientific vowel design, and it is classified as a Jungseong, or medial vowel, that can be combined with initial consonants to form full syllable blocks.
