U+B0B3 "낳" Hangul Syllable Nah Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B0B3 "낳" Hangul Syllable Nah is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant ᄂ (n), the medial vowel ᅡ (a), and the final consonant ᄒ (h). It represents the sound "nah" and is used in Korean to write words such as "낳다" (to give birth or lay an egg) and related grammatical forms. As part of the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, it was encoded to support efficient digital text processing for Korean, allowing this syllable to be represented as a single character rather than a sequence of jamo (component letters).
