U+B8C8 "룈" Hangul Syllable Roek Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
룈
U+B8C8 "룈" Hangul Syllable Roek is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "roek." It is created from the combination of the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul), the medial vowel "ㅚ" (oe), and the final consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk). Introduced as part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode 2.0, this character is used in written Korean, though it appears infrequently due to the limited occurrence of the final consonant combination with that specific vowel sound in standard vocabulary.
