U+B26E "뉮" Hangul Syllable Nwij Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B26E "뉮" Hangul Syllable Nwij is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "n" (니은), the medial vowel "wi" (위), and the final consonant "j" (지읒 as a batchim). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it was encoded to support the efficient digital representation of Korean text, allowing the syllable to be displayed and processed as a single character rather than as a sequence of individual jamo components. This syllable is rarely used in contemporary Korean vocabulary but remains a valid and properly defined element of the Hangul orthography.
