U+BD14 "봔" Hangul Syllable Bwan Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+BD14 "봔" Hangul Syllable Bwan is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic sound "bwan." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ᄇ (bieup, equivalent to "b"), the medial vowel ᅪ (wa, a diphthong derived from "o" and "a"), and the final consonant ᄂ (nieun, equivalent to "n"). While it is a valid and correctly formed syllable in the Hangul writing system, it does not correspond to a common word in the standard Korean lexicon and is rarely used in everyday language, though it may appear in transliterations, creative contexts, or as a typographic example within Unicode's comprehensive encoding of all possible modern Hangul syllables.
