U+B696 "뚖" Hangul Syllable Ddyoj Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
뚖
U+B696 "뚖" Hangul Syllable Ddyoj is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script used to write the Korean language, specifically representing the sound "ddyoj" which combines the initial consonant "ㄸ" (a tense, unaspirated 'dd' sound) with the medial vowel "ㅛ" (yo) and the final consonant "ㅈ" (j). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean letters as single, precomposed glyphs to facilitate text processing and display. In practical use, "뚖" is an extremely rare syllable, as its phonetic composition does not correspond to any common Korean word, making it virtually absent from everyday vocabulary and more of a theoretical entry in the Unicode standard.
