U+BBB8 "뮸" Hangul Syllable Myuss Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
뮸
U+BBB8 "뮸" Hangul Syllable Myuss is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, used to write the Korean language. It represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant “ㅁ” (mieum, sounding like ‘m’), the medial vowel “ㅠ” (yu, sounding like ‘yoo’), and the final consonant cluster “ㅆ” (ssang shiot, a double ‘s’ or ‘ss’). This specific syllable would likely appear in transliterated loanwords or specialized vocabulary rather than common native Korean words, as the final double ‘s’ sound is relatively rare. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that digital text can accurately represent the full range of Korean phonology, supporting both historical and contemporary writing.
