U+B222 "눢" Hangul Syllable Nweogg Unicode Character
U+B222 "눢" Hangul Syllable Nweogg is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language, formed by combining the initial consonant ᄂ (n), the medial vowel ᅯ (weo), and the final double consonant ᆩ (gg). Its phonetic value in the standard South Korean pronunciation system is approximately “nwʌk̚,” representing a closed syllable ending with a tense, unreleased velar stop. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible Korean syllable blocks based on the phonetic principle of the alphabet. As with other such syllables, it is used in written Korean to represent both lexical words and grammatical particles, though it appears relatively infrequently in modern texts.
