U+B8D9 "룙" Hangul Syllable Ryolt Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
룙
U+B8D9 "룙" Hangul Syllable Ryolt is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, specifically formed by combining the initial consonant "rieul" (ㄹ), the medial vowel "yo" (ㅛ), and the final consonant "rieul" (ㄹ). This particular syllable is extremely rare in everyday Korean language use, as it represents the sound "ryolt," which does not occur in standard Korean vocabulary or common loanwords. It exists within the Unicode Hangul Syllables block (AC00-D7AF) as part of a systematic encoding scheme that covers all possible combinations of initial, medial, and final jamo, making it a theoretical or rarely used component of the script rather than a practical character for regular text.
