U+1196 "ᆖ" Hangul Jungseong Eu-Eu Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1196 "ᆖ" Hangul Jungseong Eu-Eu is a combining vowel character used in the Korean writing system known as Hangul, specifically representing a complex or double vowel sound formed by the repetition of the base vowel "eu," which in modern Korean transcription is unusual or archaic, as it does not correspond to a standard vowel in contemporary Seoul Korean. This character belongs to the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block in Unicode primarily designated for legacy or compatibility encoding, where it functions as a jamo, or a single alphabetic building block, that combines with surrounding consonants and other vowels to form syllabic blocks. Its usage is largely restricted to historical or phonetic transcription contexts, as standard modern Hangul orthography does not typically employ a doubled "eu" vowel in natural speech or writing.
