U+B8FD "룽" Hangul Syllable Rung Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
룽
U+B8FD "룽" Hangul Syllable Rung is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic sound "rung" as pronounced in the Korean language. It is formed by combining the initial consonant ᄅ (rieul, equivalent to an "r" or "l" sound) with the medial vowel ㅜ (u, a rounded back vowel) and the final consonant ᆼ (ieung, which produces a velar nasal "ng" sound at the end of the syllable). In practical use, this syllable appears in words like "룽지" (rungji), a dialectal or metaphorical term for a wrinkle or crease, and it demonstrates how Hangul syllables are systematically organized in the Unicode standard to support digital text representation for Korean.
