U+B8DF "룟" Hangul Syllable Ryos Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
룟
U+B8DF "룟" Hangul Syllable Ryos is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul), the medial vowel "ㅛ" (yo), and the final consonant "ㅅ" (siot) to represent a phonetic block pronounced approximately as "ryot." As part of the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, it follows the standard algorithm for encoding Korean syllables, where each character corresponds to a specific combination of a leading consonant, a vowel, and an optional trailing consonant. This particular syllable is used in Korean orthography to write words and names, though it is relatively uncommon in everyday vocabulary, appearing more often in specialized or historical contexts.
