U+B8F1 "룱" Hangul Syllable Rulg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
룱
U+B8F1 "룱" Hangul Syllable Rulg is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system of the Korean language, formed from the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul), the medial vowel "ㅜ" (u), and the final consonant "ㄺ" (rieul-giyeok). This particular combination, though valid in the Unicode standard which encodes all possible modern Hangul syllables, represents a rare or obsolete syllable that does not commonly appear in standard contemporary Korean vocabulary. Its existence in the encoding system highlights how Unicode comprehensively supports the theoretical phonetic inventory of Hangul, preserving even seldom used syllables for historical, dialectal, or specialized linguistic purposes.
