U+BD2E "봮" Hangul Syllable Bwaegg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
봮
U+BD2E "봮" Hangul Syllable Bwaegg is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul script used for writing the Korean language. It is formed from the initial consonant ㅂ (bieup, representing the sound /b/), the medial vowel ㅙ (wae, a diphthong pronounced /wɛ/), and the final consonant ㄲ (ssanggiyeok, a double consonant representing the tense /k͈/ sound). This syllable is encoded in the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, which organizes all logically possible combinations of Korean jamo into individual characters. In practical Korean usage, "봮" is extremely rare, as it does not commonly appear in standard vocabulary, but its existence in Unicode ensures that any theoretically valid syllable can be digitally represented.
