Unicode Version 17.0
롸
U+B878 "롸" Hangul Syllable Rwa is a precomposed character in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing a single syllable formed by the consonant "ㄹ" (rieul) and the vowel "ㅘ" (wa). This syllable is not among the most common in standard Korean vocabulary, but it appears in words and proper nouns, particularly those loaned from foreign languages or in regional dialects. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it is encoded as a complete syllable rather than a combination of separate jamo characters, ensuring consistent rendering in digital text and supporting accurate representation of Korean language orthography.
