U+B797 "랗" Hangul Syllable Rah Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B797 "랗" Hangul Syllable Rah is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system of the Korean language, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul, pronounced as an "r" or "l" sound) and the vowel "ㅏ" (a), followed by the final consonant "ㅎ" (hieut). This specific syllable, "랗", is relatively rare in everyday Korean vocabulary, as the final "ㅎ" often causes the syllable to be pronounced with a soft, breathy release or to influence the following sound according to Korean phonological rules. It may appear in specialized or compound words, such as in the verb "거칠다" (to be rough) when conjugated, or in certain onomatopoeic or dialectal expressions, but it is not a common standalone term.
