U+313C "ㄼ" Hangul Letter Rieul-Pieup Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+313C "ㄼ" Hangul Letter Rieul-Pieup is a composite jamo representing the combined sounds of the Korean consonants "rieul" (ㄹ) and "pieup" (ㅂ) in Hangul. This character is used primarily in the context of old or more complex syllable blocks, where it appears as a final consonant cluster, historically indicating a pronunciation that transitions from an "l" sound to a "b" or "p" sound. It is part of the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block, which was designed to facilitate compatibility with older Korean character encoding systems, and it is distinct from modern compositional use where individual jamo are typically combined algorithmically. Although less common in everyday modern Korean writing, it remains an important part of Unicode's support for historical and specialized Korean text.
