U+A96B "ꥫ" Hangul Choseong Rieul-Kapyeounpieup Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꥫ
U+A96B "ꥫ" Hangul Choseong Rieul-Kapyeounpieup is a rare and archaic initial consonant cluster used in the historical representation of the Korean writing system, specifically as part of the Hangul Jamo Extended-A block. It combines the sounds of the alveolar liquid consonant "rieul" (ㄹ) and the bilabial aspirated plosive "kapyeounpieup" (ㅍ) to represent a complex onset in earlier forms of Korean orthography. This character is not used in modern Korean, but it serves as a valuable artifact for scholars studying the historical phonology and textual tradition of the Korean language.
