Unicode Version 17.0
뼘
U+BF18 "뼘" Hangul Syllable Bbyeom is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic value "bbyeom." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅃ" (ssangbieup, a tense bilabial stop) with the vowel "ㅕ" (yeo) and the final consonant "ㅁ" (mieum, a bilabial nasal). In Korean, this syllable is not a common standalone word but can appear as part of compound terms or in onomatopoeic expressions, and its use underscores the systematic nature of Hangul's syllabic block structure, where individual jamo letters are grouped into square-shaped clusters to represent distinct spoken syllables.
