U+B939 "뤹" Hangul Syllable Rwet Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B939 "뤹" Hangul Syllable Rwet is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "rwet" as a combination of the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul), the medial vowel "ㅞ" (we), and the final consonant "ㅌ" (tieut). It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllable blocks formed from the Korean alphabet's jamo components, and is used exclusively in the Korean language for representing syllables in written text. This character is a relatively rare syllable, as the consonant cluster "rw" followed by "e" and a final "t" is not common in standard Korean vocabulary, but it is included for completeness in the Unicode standard to cover all phonologically possible Hangul syllables.
