U+B8CF "룏" Hangul Syllable Ryogs is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul orthography, representing the sound "ryogs" (pronounced roughly like "ryoke" with a final "s" sound). This character is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul), the medial vowel "ㅛ" (yo), and the final consonant "ㄳ" (giyeok and shiot as a compound final). As part of the Hangul Syllables block, it was encoded in Unicode to support the Korean writing system, particularly for capturing the full set of 11,172 possible syllables used in standard South Korean usage, although syllables like "룏" are extremely rare in actual modern vocabulary, often appearing only in specialized or historical contexts.
