U+BE3B "븻" Hangul Syllable Byis Unicode Character
U+BE3B "븻" Hangul Syllable Byis is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul writing system of the Korean language, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅂ" (bieup, pronounced like a soft b), the medial vowel "ㅠ" (yu, similar to the English "you"), and the final consonant "ㅅ" (siot, pronounced as an s or t sound in a syllable coda).
