Unicode Version 17.0
뷤
U+BDE4 "뷤" Hangul Syllable Bwim is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system, representing the sound "bwim" formed by the initial consonant ᄇ (bieup), the medial vowel ᅱ (wi), and the final consonant ᄆ (mieum). It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block, which encodes all possible syllable combinations in the Korean alphabet for efficient text processing. In standard contemporary Korean, this syllable appears in words such as 뷤다 (bwimda), meaning "to be light or buoyant," though it is relatively uncommon compared to more frequently used Hangul syllables. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures accurate digital representation and rendering of the Korean language, supporting both formal writing and specialized linguistic use.
