U+11E2 "ᇢ" Hangul Jongseong Kapyeounmieum Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+11E2 "ᇢ" Hangul Jongseong Kapyeounmieum is a specific component of the Korean Hangul writing system, representing a final consonant (jongseong) form. It denotes the consonant sound "m" in a syllable's coda position, but with a distinctive phonetic detail indicated by the term "kapyeoun", which in traditional Korean phonology refers to a lighter or weaker articulation of the labial sound. This character is part of the historic or extended Hangul block, used primarily in scholarly or linguistic contexts to precisely transcribe older or dialectal pronunciations where the final nasal "m" is pronounced with a softened, less emphatic closure. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that such nuanced representations of the Korean language remain available for digital preservation and study.
