Unicode Version 17.0
부
U+BD80 "부" Hangul Syllable Bu is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing the Korean sound "bu," formed from the initial consonant ㅂ (bieup) and the vowel ㅜ (u). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is used in modern Korean writing to denote a wide range of words, including those meaning "wealth" or "part," and it appears in common terms like "부모" (bumo, meaning parents) and "부산" (Busan, a major city). It follows the standard Unicode encoding for Korean syllables, which allows for efficient text processing of the Korean script without requiring separate combination of jamo characters.
