능
U+B2A5 "능" Hangul Syllable Neung is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing the Korean sound "neung," composed of the initial consonant ᄂ (n), the medial vowel ᅳ (eu), and the final consonant ᆼ (ng). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations of the Korean writing system. In modern Korean, "능" is commonly used in words such as "능력" (ability) and "가능" (possibility), and it functions as a morpheme in both native and Sino-Korean vocabulary. The precomposed form allows for straightforward text processing and display, as it can be represented by a single code point instead of a sequence of jamo characters.
