U+B6A4 "뚤" Hangul Syllable Ddul Unicode Character
U+B6A4 "뚤" Hangul Syllable Ddul is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic sound "ddul" which combines the tense consonant "ㄸ" (double t/d) with the vowel "ㅜ" (u) and the final consonant "ㄹ" (l). As part of the Hangul Syllables Unicode block, it was introduced in Unicode version 2.0 to support the systematic encoding of Korean writing, where syllables are formed by grouping individual jamo characters into a single Unicode code point. This character is used in Korean language text, typically appearing in words or names that require the tense initial sound and the ending lateral consonant, though it is relatively uncommon in everyday vocabulary. Its inclusion helps ensure comprehensive digital representation for the full range of Korean syllables in computing environments.
