Unicode Version 17.0

U+BF8E "뾎" Hangul Syllable Bbwaej is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, used in the Korean language. It represents the sound "bbwaej," formed by combining the initial consonant ㅃ (a tensed bilabial stop), the medial vowel ㅙ (a diphthong blending ㅗ and ㅐ), and the final consonant character ㅈ (a postalveolar affricate). This syllable is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic blocks of the Korean writing system in a systematic order based on the sequence of initial, medial, and final jamo. Although relatively rare in everyday modern Korean vocabulary, it demonstrates the comprehensive and phonetic nature of the Hangul writing system.
