U+B109 "넉" Hangul Syllable Neog Unicode Character
U+B109 "넉" Hangul Syllable Neog is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the sound "neog". It is formed from the initial consonant ㄴ (n), the vowel ㅓ (eo), and the final consonant ㄱ (g), which are combined into a single, unified character block rather than being encoded as separate jamo. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which enables efficient text processing and display of Korean words by encoding each syllable as a distinct code point. In Korean, "넉" can appear in words like "넉자" (four characters) or in the traditional term "넉동" (a type of stringed instrument), and its correct rendering requires a font that supports the proper vertical and horizontal composition of its constituent jamo.
