U+3152 "ㅒ" Hangul Letter Yae Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ㅒ
U+3152 "ㅒ" Hangul Letter Yae is a vowel jamo used in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing the single-syllable sound "yae" (roughly similar to the "ye" in "yes" but with a more open mouth). It is formed by combining the basic vowel "ㅏ" (a) with a short "i" glide, and it appears primarily in the vertical or left-right composition of Korean syllables, often in words of native Korean or Sino-Korean origin. This character belongs to the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block in Unicode, which was created to encode the individual letters of the Hangul alphabet separately for historical and technical compatibility with older systems, though modern Korean text typically uses the precomposed syllables found in the Hangul Syllables block.
