Unicode Version 17.0
뢸
U+B8B8 "뢸" Hangul Syllable Roel is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system known as Hangul. It represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul), the medial vowel "ㅚ" (oe), and the final consonant "ㄹ" (rieul), resulting in the sound "roel" or "rweol" in standard Korean. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block, which contains all possible syllabic forms of Hangul, and it is used in written Korean for words that require this specific syllabic structure, though it is relatively rare in everyday vocabulary. Like all precomposed Hangul syllables, it was included in Unicode to facilitate efficient text processing and rendering for the Korean language.
