U+B21D "눝" Hangul Syllable Nut Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B21D "눝" Hangul Syllable Nut is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "nut" which is formed by combining the initial consonant ᄂ (n), the medial vowel ᅮ (u), and the final consonant ᇀ (t). While it is a valid and defined character within the Unicode Standard's vast Hangul Syllables block, which allows for the precise encoding of all possible Korean syllable blocks, this particular syllable is not commonly used in everyday modern Korean vocabulary and is therefore considered rare or obsolete. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that any text, whether historical or computational, can be accurately represented without needing to decompose the syllable into its individual jamo components, thereby maintaining linguistic integrity and digital interoperability for the Korean language.
