Unicode Version 17.0
뢈
U+B888 "뢈" Hangul Syllable Rwam is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul syllabary, representing the Korean sound "rwam." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul, which in this context carries the semivowel "r" sound before "w") with the medial diphthong "ㅘ" (wa, composed of the vowels "ㅗ" and "ㅏ") and the final consonant "ㅁ" (mieum). This syllable is used in written Korean to transcribe loanwords or specific native phonetic sequences, though it is relatively rare in everyday vocabulary, appearing primarily in specialized linguistic or transliteration contexts.
