U+B24A "뉊" Hangul Syllable Nwelp Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B24A "뉊" Hangul Syllable Nwelp is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, formed by combining the initial consonant ᄂ (n), the medial vowel ᅯ (weo), and the final consonant ᆵ (lbeop). As part of the Hangul Syllables block, it represents a single orthographic unit used in writing Korean, though its usage is rare or nonexistent in standard modern vocabulary, as it is primarily a theoretical or historical construct within the Unicode standard for comprehensive coverage of all possible syllable combinations. The character itself encodes a specific phonetic value, [nwʌlp̚], but in practice it remains a mostly unused glyph, demonstrating the vast range of syllables supported by the Korean writing system.
