Unicode Version 17.0
ㄻ
U+313B "ㄻ" Hangul Letter Rieul-Mieum is a composite jamo, or letter, used in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing a consonant cluster that combines the sounds of "rieul" (ㄹ, an 'l' or 'r' sound) and "mieum" (ㅁ, an 'm' sound). This character typically appears in the final position (batchim) of a Korean syllable, as in the word "삶" (salmm, meaning "life"), where it modifies the pronunciation by blending the lateral and nasal elements. Part of the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block in Unicode, this letter enables digital text processing and display of traditional Korean orthography, preserving the structural integrity of the script's syllabic blocks.
