U+BF4B "뽋" Hangul Syllable Bbolb Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+BF4B "뽋" Hangul Syllable Bbolb is a single syllable block from the modern Korean Hangul alphabet, composed of the initial consonant “ㅃ” (a tense bilabial stop), the medial vowel “ㅗ” (the “o” sound), and the final consonant “ㄼ” (a combination of “ㄹ” and “ㅂ,” realized as an “l” sound that modifies the syllable’s pronunciation). It is part of the Hangul Syllables block in the Unicode standard, which encodes all possible combinations of leading consonants, vowels, and trailing consonants used in the Korean writing system. This specific syllable, though rare in everyday modern Korean vocabulary, demonstrates how Unicode systematically represents the complex yet regular structure of the Korean script in digital text.
