U+BF5C "뽜" Hangul Syllable Bbwa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
뽜
U+BF5C "뽜" Hangul Syllable Bbwa is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the sound “bbwa”. It is formed by combining the initial consonant “ㅃ” (a tense, or doubled, bilabial stop) with the vowel “ㅘ” (the diphthong “wa”), resulting in a single character block that follows the standard layout of Korean syllable blocks. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllable combinations from the Korean alphabet, and it is used in written Korean to denote a specific phonetic value in words like “뽜다” (to spit or puff out), though it is less common than many other syllables.
