Unicode Version 17.0
룐
U+B8D0 "룐" Hangul Syllable Ryon is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, formed by combining the initial consonant rieul (ㄹ) with the medial vowel yo (ㅛ) and the final consonant nieun (ㄴ). This character represents a specific phonetic block that would be used in Korean orthography, typically transliterated as "ryon" in Romanization systems like Revised Romanization. While it is a valid and encoded character within the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, it is not a commonly used syllable in standard modern Korean vocabulary, as many syllables starting with "ryo" are often avoided due to the language's phonological rules, making it a rare or specialized instance in digital text and printing.
