U+B8B1 "뢱" Hangul Syllable Roeg is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "roeg" which is formed from the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul), the vowel "ㅚ" (oe), and the final consonant "ㄱ" (giyeok). It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block of Unicode, encompassing all 11,172 possible syllable combinations in standard Korean orthography. As a design entity, this character appears visually as a single, unified glyph in text rather than as a sequence of separate jamo letters, enabling efficient storage and rendering in digital environments. While it is a valid, codified syllable, it is extremely rare in modern Korean vocabulary, typically occurring only in specialized, archaic, or transliterated contexts rather than in common everyday words.
