U+B9A4 "릤" Hangul Syllable Ryiss Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
릤
U+B9A4 "릤" Hangul Syllable Ryiss is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul script used for the Korean language, specifically formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄹ" (rieul) with the medial vowel "ㅣ" (i) and the final consonant cluster "ㅆ" (ssang shiot) to create the sound "ryiss." This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic blocks composed of Korean jamo characters. While it is a valid and correctly formed syllable according to the Korean writing system, it represents a relatively uncommon or nonstandard phonological combination, as the initial "ry" sound is rare in native Korean vocabulary and typically appears only in certain loanwords or regional variations.
