U+B0EC "냬" Hangul Syllable Nyae Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
냬
U+B0EC "냬" Hangul Syllable Nyae is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "nyae" as a combination of the initial consonant ᄂ (nieun, sounding like "n") and the vowel ㅒ (yae). Unlike simpler syllables formed with basic vowels, "냬" uses the complex vowel ㅒ, which itself combines ㅣ (i) and ㅐ (ae) to produce a single "yae" sound. This syllable is relatively rare in modern Korean vocabulary, appearing in some loanwords or onomatopoeic expressions rather than in common native Korean words. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that the syllable can be correctly encoded and rendered across digital platforms, preserving the full range of Korean written language.
