U+313E "ㄾ" Hangul Letter Rieul-Thieuth Unicode Character

U+313E "ㄾ" Hangul Letter Rieul-Thieuth is a precomposed Hangul jamo representing a compound final consonant (batchim) found in the Korean writing system. It combines the sounds of the consonants ᄅ (rieul) and ᅐ (thieuth), typically pronounced as an /l/ sound followed by a soft /t/ or /th/ when occurring at the end of a syllable. This character is part of the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block, which was designed for compatibility with older Korean encoding standards and is used in modern digital text to correctly represent the spelling of certain Korean words. Although less common than individual jamo, it ensures accurate typographic rendering and phonetic transcription in contexts like historical documents or precise linguistic notation.
