U+B29C "늜" Hangul Syllable Neuls Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B29C "늜" Hangul Syllable Neuls is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul script, used in the Korean language to represent the phonetic sound "neuls." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ᄂ (n), the vowel ᅳ (eu), and the final consonant ᆯ (l), though its actual usage in contemporary Korean is extremely rare, as it does not appear in common vocabulary. This character falls under the Hangul Syllables block of Unicode, which encodes all possible syllable combinations in the Korean writing system, and it serves primarily as a technical placeholder for historical or theoretical linguistic purposes rather than for everyday communication.
