U+B956 "륖" Hangul Syllable Rwip Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+B956 "륖" Hangul Syllable Rwip is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound “rwip” as a single typographic unit. This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block, which assigns a unique code point to each possible combination of an initial consonant, a medial vowel, and a final consonant (or batchim) in the Korean alphabet. The syllable “륖” is formed by the initial consonant “ㄹ” (rieul, producing an “r” sound), the medial vowel “ㅟ” (wi, sounding like “wi”), and the final consonant “ㅂ” (bieup, ending with a “p” sound). Due to the rarity of the “rwip” sound in standard Korean vocabulary, this specific syllable is not commonly used in everyday speech or writing, making it an example of the expansive theoretical structure of the Unicode Hangul Syllables range, which covers all possible legal syllable combinations.
