U+B868 "롨" Hangul Syllable Rols Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B868 "롨" Hangul Syllable Rols is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean writing system, Hangul, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul, sounding like an 'r' or 'l'), the vowel "ㅗ" (o), and the final consonant "ㄹㅅ" (rieul-siot, a compound final consonant pronounced as a tense or aspirated 'l' sound in some contexts). It is part of the Hangul Syllables block, which encodes all 11,172 possible syllable sequences formed from the Korean alphabet. In practical usage, "롨" is relatively rare and primarily appears in specific transcribed foreign words, technical terms, or literary contexts, as its sound combination does not correspond to common native Korean vocabulary. This character underscores the systematic and phonetic nature of Hangul, where each block visually stacks letters into a single square syllable.
