U+BF50 "뽐" Hangul Syllable Bbom Unicode Character
U+BF50 "뽐" Hangul Syllable Bbom is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant “ㅃ” (a tense, doubled bilabial sound similar to a forceful “bb”) and the medial vowel “ㅗ” (pronounced like the “o” in “oh”), followed by the final consonant “ㅁ” (an “m” sound). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllables formed from the Korean alphabet by combining initial, medial, and final jamo letters. While “뽐” itself does not have a standalone common meaning in standard Korean vocabulary, it can appear in inflected verb forms or onomatopoeic expressions, such as in the word “뽐내다,” which means to show off or flaunt something, and it is also used in phonetic transcriptions of foreign words or names.
