U+B274 "뉴" Hangul Syllable Nyu is a precomposed syllable in the Korean writing system Hangul, representing the sound "nyu" as in the English word "new."

As part of the Unicode Standard, it belongs to the Hangul Syllables block, which encodes modern Korean syllables algorithmically based on the Korean standard KS X 1001 and is essential for digital text processing in Korean.
