Unicode Version 17.0
볤
U+BCE4 "볤" Hangul Syllable Byels is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅂ" (bieup) with the medial vowel "ㅖ" (ye) and the final consonant "ㄹ" (rieul) to produce the phonetic value "byels." As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it represents a specific, standard syllable rather than a typographic ligature or historical variant. In practical use, this syllable is relatively rare in contemporary Korean vocabulary, appearing mostly in specialized or outdated contexts such as transliterations or certain compound words, and it is not commonly encountered in everyday modern Korean language or media.
