Unicode Version 17.0
뱨
U+BC68 "뱨" Hangul Syllable Byae is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅂ" (b) and the vertical vowel "ㅒ" (yae). This syllable is formed algorithmically by the Korean standard, where the consonant lead and vowel medial are combined into a single encoded character for consistent text processing and display. While not one of the most frequently used syllables in contemporary Korean, "뱨" can appear in specific vocabulary, loanwords, or less common orthographic contexts, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures that all possible Hangul syllable blocks are digitally representable.
