U+B0B6 "낶" Hangul Syllable Naegg Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B0B6 "낶" Hangul Syllable Naegg is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing a specific, and exceptionally rare, phonological combination of the initial consonant 'n', the medial vowel 'ae', and the final consonant 'gg' in the Korean writing system. This character is not a standard syllable in modern Korean vocabulary and effectively does not appear in everyday usage, making it a largely theoretical or historical form that exists within the Unicode standard to ensure the complete encoding of all possible syllable blocks in the Hangul script. Its primary purpose is to maintain the systematic and algorithmic integrity of the Hangul syllable block system rather than to serve any practical linguistic function.
