U+BD8D "붍" Hangul Syllable Bult is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅂ" (bieup, pronounced as 'b'), the medial vowel "ㅜ" (u, pronounced like the 'oo' in 'boot'), and the final consonant "ㄹㅌ" (a cluster of 'l' and 't', known as bieup and tieut, which together produce the final sound "lt").
