Unicode Version 17.0
뢩
U+B8A9 "뢩" Hangul Syllable Rwaeng is a precomposed syllable block from the modern Hangul script, used to write the Korean language. It represents the phonetic sound "rwaeng," formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul), the medial vowel "ㅘ" (wa), and the final consonant "ㅇ" (ieung). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables Unicode block, which encodes all possible syllable combinations from the Korean alphabet. While "뢩" is a valid and correctly encoded syllable, it is considered rare in natural Korean vocabulary, as it does not appear in common words and is more likely to be used in transliterations or specific phonetic contexts.
