U+B6A0 "뚠" Hangul Syllable Ddun is a precomposed Hangul syllable used in the modern Korean alphabet, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㄸ" (a double, tense 'dd' sound), the vowel "ㅜ" (u), and the final consonant "ㄴ" (n). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it was added to the standard to allow for efficient and direct encoding of Korean text, ensuring that each distinct syllable has its own unique code point without needing to rely on dynamic composition from individual jamo characters.
