Unicode Version 17.0

U+BDE8 "뷨" Hangul Syllable Bwiss is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, used in the Korean language to represent the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅂ" (bieup), the medial vowel "ㅟ" (wi), and the final consonant "ㅆ" (ssang shiot). This character encodes the complete syllable "bwiss" as a single code point within the Unicode standard's Hangul Syllables block, which systematically organizes all possible syllable blocks formed from the Korean alphabet.
