Unicode Version 17.0
볮
U+BCEE "볮" Hangul Syllable Byej is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅂ" (bieup), the medial vowel "ㅖ" (ye), and the final consonant "ㅈ" (jieut). This syllable, pronounced approximately as "byej," represents a valid phonetic unit in Korean, though it is rare and typically appears in only a few specific vocabulary items or compound forms rather than in common everyday words. As part of the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, which encodes all possible modern Korean syllables in a systematic way, "볮" is just one of tens of thousands of such characters designed to facilitate digital text processing for the Korean language.
