Unicode Version 17.0
ꥩ
U+A969 "ꥩ" Hangul Choseong Rieul-Pieup is a composed consonant used in the Hangul writing system specifically as an initial sound, or choseong, that combines the sounds of the Korean consonants "rieul" (ㄹ) and "pieup" (ㅂ), representing a single phonetic unit in the initial position of a syllable. This character belongs to the Hangul Jamo Extended-A block, which was designed to encode archaic or historic Korean letter forms not found in modern standard Hangul. Historically, "ꥩ" would have been employed in early Korean texts to denote a specific initial consonant cluster, though today it is rarely used in contemporary Korean writing, serving mainly for linguistic documentation or scholarly reproduction of old manuscripts.
