U+B2AF "늯" Hangul Syllable Nyigs Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
늯
U+B2AF "늯" Hangul Syllable Nyigs is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant “nieun” (ㄴ), the medial vowel “yu” (ㅠ), and the final consonant “ssangiot” (ㄲ). This syllable is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations of Korean jamo characters. While the syllable "늯" is technically valid within the Korean writing system, it is an extremely rare or obsolete form that does not appear in standard modern Korean vocabulary, as the final consonant cluster "gs" (ㄲ) is uncommon in contemporary usage.
