Unicode Version 17.0
ㅪ
U+316A "ㅪ" Hangul Letter Rieul-Tikeut is a Hangul compatibility jamo used primarily in older or formal Korean orthography to represent a digraph combining the initial consonant sounds of "rieul" (ㄹ) and "tikeut" (ㄷ). This character is distinct from modern standard Hangul syllables, as it belongs to the compatibility jamo block, which was encoded for compatibility with pre-existing Korean character sets. It appears infrequently in contemporary Korean text, but it may be encountered in historical documents or linguistic studies focused on archaic consonant clusters.
