룦
U+B8E6 "룦" Hangul Syllable Ryop is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul script, used for writing the Korean language. It represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "rieul" (ㄹ), the medial vowel "yo" (ㅛ), and the final consonant "bieup" (ㅂ), pronounced as "ryop." While this syllable is part of the standard Unicode block for Hangul syllables, it is considered rare or obsolete in contemporary Korean vocabulary, as the consonant cluster "ryop" does not commonly appear in modern native Korean words.
