U+B29F "늟" Hangul Syllable Neulh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B29F "늟" Hangul Syllable Neulh is a single syllabic block in the modern Korean writing system, representing a specific combination of the initial consonant "ㄴ" (n), the medial vowel "ㅡ" (eu), and the final consonant "ㅀ" (lh). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character encodes a predefined syllable rather than being composed dynamically from individual jamo, a method used to handle the large number of syllabic forms in Korean. Due to the rarity of the final consonant cluster "ㄹㅎ" (lh), particularly in modern Korean vocabulary, this syllable is not commonly found in everyday usage but remains a valid orthographic form within the standard Unicode repertoire for historical or specialized text representation.
