U+119B "ᆛ" Hangul Jungseong I-U Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᆛ
U+119B "ᆛ" Hangul Jungseong I-U is a combining vowel character used in the Korean writing system known as Hangul, specifically representing a diphthong that starts with the vowel sound "i" and transitions into "u". This character is classified as a Jungseong, or medial vowel, and is not used in modern standard Korean, appearing instead in historical or archaic texts where it denoted a distinct phonetic value. As part of the Hangul Jamo block in Unicode, it is designed to combine with initial consonants and final consonants to form complete syllabic blocks, though its practical usage today is largely limited to linguistic study or the transcription of older Korean literature.
