U+119F "ᆟ" Hangul Jungseong Araea-Eo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᆟ
U+119F "ᆟ" Hangul Jungseong Araea-Eo is a rarely used vowel component from the Hangul writing system, specifically a jungseong or medial vowel that is no longer part of standard modern Korean orthography. It represents the historical vowel “arae eo,” which once distinguished certain phonological classes in Middle Korean but has since merged with other vowels in contemporary speech. This character appears primarily in academic or historical texts, such as documents about Korean linguistics or classical literature, where it serves as a precise typographic marker for reconstructing earlier forms of the language. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve the ability to digitally encode and display these archaic scripts accurately.
