U+B78C "람" Hangul Syllable Ram Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
람
U+B78C "람" Hangul Syllable Ram is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, formed by the consonant 'ㄹ' (rieul), the vowel 'ㅏ' (a), and the final consonant 'ㅁ' (mieum), combining to represent the sound "ram." As part of the Hangul Syllables block, this character allows for efficient text processing by encoding the entire syllable as a single codepoint rather than requiring separate encoding of individual jamo components. Its primary use is in written Korean, where it appears in various words such as "밤" (bam, meaning "night") or as a component in longer terms, and its composition reflects the syllabic structure fundamental to Hangul, one of the world's most scientifically designed alphabets.
