Unicode Version 17.0

U+BCAA "벪" Hangul Syllable Belm is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system of the Korean language, representing the phonetic combination "belm" by combining the initial consonant ㅂ (b), the vowel ㅔ (e), and the final consonant cluster ㅀ (lm). As part of the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, it was encoded to facilitate digital text processing by providing a single codepoint for this specific syllable rather than requiring a sequence of individual jamo letters.
