U+316B "ㅫ" Hangul Letter Rieul-Pieup-Sios Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+316B "ㅫ" Hangul Letter Rieul-Pieup-Sios is a precomposed Hangul jamo, or letter, that represents a complex initial consonant cluster in the Korean writing system, combining the sounds of rieul (ㄹ), pieup (ㅂ), and sios (ㅅ). It is part of the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block in Unicode, which includes characters designed for compatibility with preexisting Korean character sets. This specific jamo is not used in standard modern Korean orthography, but it appears in historical or archaic texts and in certain linguistic or technical contexts where precise phonetic transcription of Old Korean or dialectal sounds is required. Its structure illustrates how the Korean alphabet builds richer consonant clusters by stacking multiple component letters together.
