U+1197 "ᆗ" Hangul Jungseong Yi-U Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᆗ
U+1197 "ᆗ" Hangul Jungseong Yi-U is a combining vowel grapheme used in the Hangul writing system for the Korean language, specifically designed to represent a medial vowel sound in syllable blocks. This character corresponds to a complex or compound vowel known as "yi-u," which combines the phonetic elements of 'yi' and 'u' to form a single vowel unit. In modern Korean, however, this particular Jungseong is largely obsolete and rarely appears in contemporary texts, as its sound has merged with other vowels in standard pronunciation. Its primary relevance today is in historical linguistic studies or in specialized orthographic contexts where older or dialectal Korean forms are preserved.
