Unicode Version 17.0
빠
U+BE60 "빠" Hangul Syllable Bba is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant ㅂ (bieup) with the vowel ㅏ (a) to produce the sound "bba." This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encompasses all possible syllabic combinations of the Korean alphabet, enabling efficient digital representation of the language. In Korean, "빠" carries a tensed or fortis pronunciation, distinguished from the plain "바" by its sharper, more forceful articulation, and it commonly appears in words like "빠르다" (to be fast) or "빵" (bread), reflecting its role in conveying nuanced phonetic distinctions in spoken and written Korean.
