Unicode Version 17.0
볠
U+BCE0 "볠" Hangul Syllable Byel is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "byel". It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅂ" (bieup), the medial vowel "ㅖ" (ye), and the final consonant "ㄹ" (rieul). As part of the Hangul Syllables block, this character allows for efficient digital text processing by encoding the entire syllable as a single code point rather than assembling it from individual jamo components. While "볠" is a valid syllable in the Korean phonetic inventory, its usage in standard Korean vocabulary is extremely rare, often appearing only in specialized contexts such as transliterations or dialectal expressions.
