Unicode Version 17.0
둖
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. While not a frequently used syllable in everyday Korean, it serves as an example of the systematic nature of Hangul, where each syllable is composed from a finite set of alphabetic characters arranged in a standardized block form.
