Unicode Version 17.0

U+B9AE "릮" Hangul Syllable Rigg is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant "리" (ri) with the final consonant "ㄲ" (kk), which together produce the sound "rikk" or "rigg" as rendered in Romanization. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block, which encodes all possible syllable blocks created from the Korean alphabet's initial, medial, and final jamo components. While "릮" is a valid, officially recognized syllable in the Unicode standard, it is not commonly used in everyday Korean vocabulary and is primarily encountered in specialized linguistic contexts or as part of transcriptional needs, such as representing foreign sounds or names.
