U+BC98 "벘" Hangul Syllable Beoss Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
벘
U+BC98 "벘" Hangul Syllable Beoss is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant "ᄇ" (bieup, sounding like "b"), the medial vowel "ᅥ" (eo, sounding like the "u" in "fur"), and the final consonant "ᆻ" (ssangbieup, a doubled "b" sound). This syllable is part of the modern Hangul syllabary block, which encodes complete syllable blocks rather than separate jamo components, and is used in written Korean to represent specific phonetic clusters. As a precomposed character, it originated from the Unicode 2.0 standard to facilitate efficient text processing, allowing computers and digital systems to render this particular syllable seamlessly as a single unified glyph.
