U+BC51 "뱑" Hangul Syllable Byanj Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
뱑
U+BC51 "뱑" Hangul Syllable Byanj is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, representing a phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅂ" (bieup, sounding like "b") and the medial vowel "ㅑ" (ya, a "yah" sound), followed by the final consonant cluster "ㄴㅈ" (nieun and jieut), which together produce the pronunciation "byanj." This character is part of the unified Hangul syllable block in Unicode, which allows efficient encoding of Korean text by mapping each distinct syllable to a single code point rather than requiring separate codes for individual components. The syllable "뱑" is relatively uncommon in everyday Korean vocabulary but demonstrates the systematic and phonetic nature of the Korean writing system.
