U+B22C "눬" Hangul Syllable Nweols Unicode Character
U+B22C "눬" Hangul Syllable Nweols is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "n" (니은), the medial vowel "woe" (외), and the final consonant "ls" (리을시옷). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block, which was introduced in Unicode 2.0 to efficiently encode the thousands of possible syllabic blocks formed by combining Korean jamo characters. Like other Hangul syllables, it is used in writing the Korean language, though it is considered rare or obsolete in contemporary usage. The character's composition follows the standard South Korean ordering of jamo, and its encoding allows for consistent digital representation and display across systems that support Unicode.
