U+B806 "렆" Hangul Syllable Reop Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
렆
U+B806 "렆" Hangul Syllable Reop is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, representing the sound "reop" as it appears in the Korean language. It was encoded as part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode version 2.0 in 1996, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul), the vowel "ㅓ" (eo), and the final consonant "ㅍ" (pieup). This character is used in written Korean to represent a specific lexical syllable, though it is relatively rare in everyday vocabulary compared to more common syllables, and its primary function is to enable precise text processing, search, and display in digital environments that support Korean orthography.
