Unicode Version 17.0
뻅
U+BEC5 "뻅" Hangul Syllable Bbyaeb is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "bbyaeb" with a tensed initial consonant. It is formed from the initial consonant “ㅃ” (ssangbieup, a double "b/p" sound) and the medial vowel “ㅒ” (yae) followed by the final consonant “ㅂ” (bieup), all combined into a single block as part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode. This character is used in written Korean, where such tensed syllables distinguish meaning from their non-tensed counterparts, and it was added to the Unicode Standard to support full digital representation of the Korean alphabet.
