U+B0D9 "냙" Hangul Syllable Nyalg Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B0D9 "냙" Hangul Syllable Nyalg is a specific precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "nieun" (ㄴ), the medial vowel "ya" (ㅑ), and the final consonant "rieul-giyeok" (ㄺ) to form the sound "nyalg." This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all 11,172 possible syllabic combinations of the Korean alphabet to support digital text representation. While "냙" is a valid and correctly formed syllable according to Korean orthography, it is rarely used in everyday Korean vocabulary and appears mostly in specialized contexts such as historical texts, linguistic studies, or as a technical placeholder. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that even uncommon or theoretical Hangul syllables can be displayed and processed consistently across modern software and platforms.
