U+B839 "령" Hangul Syllable Ryeong Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
령
U+B839 "령" Hangul Syllable Ryeong is a precomposed syllable from the Hangul script, used in the Korean language to represent the sound "ryeong." It is formed by combining the initial consonant 리을 (rieul, equivalent to "r" or "l"), the medial vowel 여 (yeo, similar to "yuh"), and the final consonant 응 (ieung, representing the "ng" sound). In Korean, this syllable appears in words such as "명령" (myeongnyeong, meaning "command" or "order") and "령" (ryeong, meaning "spirit" or "soul" in Sino-Korean vocabulary). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it was encoded to support the efficient representation of modern Korean text, where individual jamo (letters) are combined into syllabic blocks for readability and typographic consistency.
