U+B11C "넜" Hangul Syllable Neoss Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B11C "넜" Hangul Syllable Neoss is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing the phonetic compound "neoss" in the modern Korean writing system. It is formed from the initial consonant ㅊ, here used in its lenis or aspirated form depending on context, the medial vowel ㅓ (eo), and the final consonant cluster ㅆ (ss), which creates a tensed or reinforced pronunciation. This syllable is distinct but comparatively rare in contemporary Korean vocabulary, appearing primarily in historical texts, dialectal usage, or technical linguistic notation rather than everyday speech. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures accurate digital representation and rendering of older or phonetically specific Hangul forms across platforms and languages.
