Unicode Version 17.0
벪
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. This character is used in Korean orthography for words that contain the "belm" sound, such as in certain verb stems or nouns, and is rendered in standard Hangul font styles when displayed on supported systems.
