U+B1E8 "뇨" Hangul Syllable Nyo Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B1E8 "뇨" Hangul Syllable Nyo is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "nyo" as in the English word "kanyon." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ᄂ (n) with the medial vowel ᆛ (yo), and it belongs to the Hangul Syllables block (U+AC00 to U+D7AF), which encodes all possible syllable combinations of the Korean alphabet. This character is used in standard Korean vocabulary, such as in the word "녀" (nyeo, meaning "woman" or "female"), though "뇨" itself appears less frequently than other syllables; it can be found in loanwords or historical contexts, and it is rendered in Unicode as a single code point for efficient text processing and display in digital environments.
