U+B85D "록" Hangul Syllable Rog is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "rog" or "rok." It is formed by the combination of the initial consonant ㄹ (rieul), the vowel ㅗ (o), and the final consonant ㄱ (giyeok), which together create a single, indivisible character block that functions as a morpheme in the Korean language. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which was designed to encode all possible syllable combinations of the Korean alphabet efficiently. In use, "록" appears in various Korean words, such as "기록" (girok, meaning "record") or "녹음" (nogeum, meaning "recording"), and its pronunciation is standardized in both South and North Korean orthography.
