Unicode Version 17.0

U+B875 "롵" Hangul Syllable Rot is a composite syllable in the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language, formed by combining the initial consonant “ㄹ” (rieul), the medial vowel “ㅗ” (o), and the final consonant “ㅌ” (tieut). This specific syllable, pronounced roughly like “rot,” is a valid but exceedingly rare character in contemporary Korean, appearing primarily in historical texts, transliterations of foreign words, or specialized linguistic contexts rather than in common daily vocabulary.
