U+B78F "랏" Hangul Syllable Ras Unicode Character
U+B78F "랏" Hangul Syllable Ras is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, representing the Korean syllable "ras." It is constructed from the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul), the vowel "ㅏ" (a), and the final consonant "ㅅ" (siot), following the standard block-based layout of Hangul syllables. This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible modern Korean syllables arranged systematically by their constituent jamo. While "랏" is a valid and defined syllable, it is not a common standalone word in contemporary Korean vocabulary and may appear primarily in specialized contexts, transliterations, or historical orthography. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent representation and processing of the Korean writing system across digital platforms and global text standards.
