U+B175 "녵" Hangul Syllable Nyet Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B175 "녵" Hangul Syllable Nyet is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant 니은 (nieun, "n"), the medial vowel ㅕ (yeo), and the final consonant 티긋 (tikeut, "t"), which together form the sound "nyeot". This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which includes all logically possible syllable blocks in the standard Korean writing system using modern jamo. While "녵" is a valid and defined syllable in the Unicode standard, it is a relatively rare or unused syllable in everyday Korean vocabulary, typically appearing in specialized linguistic contexts, transcriptions, or historical texts rather than common modern speech or writing. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that any theoretical or phonetic Hangul syllable can be digitally represented and preserved for accurate text processing and scholarly use.
