U+BD96 "붖" Hangul Syllable Buj is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul writing system of the Korean language, formed by combining the initial consonant ㅂ (bieup, representing the sound "b"), the vowel ㅜ (u), and the final consonant ㅈ (jieut, representing the sound "j"), resulting in the phonetic value "buj". This specific syllable is part of the comprehensive Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all 11,172 possible combinations of initial, medial, and final jamo characters to support the efficient digital representation of Korean text.
