U+B7A5 "랥" Hangul Syllable Raelt Unicode Character
U+B7A5 "랥" Hangul Syllable Raelt is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul), the medial vowel "ㅐ" (ae), and the final consonant cluster "ㄾ" (rieul thieut). This specific syllable, pronounced approximately as "raelt," is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations of the Korean alphabet. As a relatively uncommon syllable, "랥" is rarely used in contemporary Korean vocabulary but demonstrates the systematic structure of Hangul, where each character is formed by stacking jamo (letters) into a single square block, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures that even rare or archaic syllables are digitally representable for linguistic and historical purposes.
