놥
U+B1A5 "놥" Hangul Syllable Nwab is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul writing system of Korea, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "n" (ㄴ), the medial vowel "wa" (ㅘ), and the final consonant "b" (ㅂ). This character forms part of the Hangul Syllables block within the Unicode standard, which encodes all 11,172 possible syllables that can be formed from the Korean alphabet.
