Unicode Version 17.0
룅
U+B8C5 "룅" Hangul Syllable Roeng is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing the Korean sound "roeng," formed by combining the initial consonant Rieul (ᄅ, romanized as r or l) with the medial vowel Oe (ᅬ, romanized as oe) and the final consonant Ieung (ᆼ, romanized as ng). This syllable is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean jamo characters into single codepoints for efficient text processing. While it is a valid and fully formed syllable in the Korean writing system, "룅" is extremely rare in modern Korean vocabulary and does not appear in common words, making it mostly used in specialized linguistic contexts or for technical textual representation.
