U+B9B5 "릵" Hangul Syllable Rilg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
릵
U+B9B5 "릵" Hangul Syllable Rilg is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing a combination of the initial consonant "리" (ri) and the final consonant "ㄺ" (lg). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is encoded to allow efficient representation of Korean text by mapping directly to a specific syllable block, rather than requiring separate encoding of its individual jamo components. Although not commonly used in everyday Korean vocabulary, it exists as a valid phonological combination in the language, and its inclusion in Unicode supports the complete and accurate rendering of written Korean across digital platforms and documents.
