U+B456 "둖" Hangul Syllable Dunh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "dunh" as a combination of the initial consonant ᄃ (d), the medial vowel ᅮ (u), and the final consonant ᄂ (n) followed by the consonant ᄒ (h) in a complex coda. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, encoded to allow efficient representation of Korean text by combining individual jamo (letters) into complete syllable blocks.
