Unicode Version 17.0
뒖
U+B496 "뒖" Hangul Syllable Dwelp is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "dwelp." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ᄃ (d), the medial vowel ㅞ (we), and the final consonant ᆵ (lph), which is a compound codas consisting of ㄹ (l) and ㅍ (p). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which was encoded to support the syllabic nature of Korean text, allowing efficient representation of the full set of possible syllable blocks. While not a commonly used syllable in everyday Korean vocabulary, it demonstrates the systematic structure of Hangul, where characters are composed from jamo (letters) to produce distinct syllabic units.
