U+316E "ㅮ" Hangul Letter Mieum-Pieup Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ㅮ
U+316E "ㅮ" Hangul Letter Mieum-Pieup is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing a combination of the consonants for "m" and "p" sounds, historically used in the Korean writing system to denote a final consonant cluster. It corresponds to the archaic or obsolete composition of mieum (ㅁ) followed by pieup (ㅂ), and while it appears in some older Korean texts, it is not used in modern standard Korean orthography, which instead represents such sequences with separate jamo characters. This character is part of the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block and is preserved for compatibility with earlier digital encodings and legacy documentation.
