U+BFC7 "뿇" Hangul Syllable Bbyoc Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
뿇
U+BFC7 "뿇" Hangul Syllable Bbyoc is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅃ" (a tense bilabial stop), the vowel "ㅛ" (a palatal approximant), and the final consonant "ㅊ" (a aspirated affricate). It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllable combinations derived from the Korean alphabet, and its specific pronunciation approximates the sound "bbyoch" in English. This character is used in written Korean to denote the syllable for the phoneme /p͈jotɕʰ/, though it is relatively rare in everyday vocabulary because the tense initial consonant and the final consonant cluster create an uncommon phonetic structure.
