U+BFCC "뿌" Hangul Syllable Bbu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
뿌
U+BFCC "뿌" Hangul Syllable Bbu is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "bbu" with a tensed initial consonant. It is formed from the initial consonant ㅃ (a tense, doubled version of the bilabial stop ㅂ) and the vowel ㅜ (u), and it functions as a complete, single character codepoint in Unicode, rather than requiring separate encoding of its component jamo. In Korean, this syllable appears in words like "뿌리" (bburi), meaning "root," and its exact pronunciation features a forceful, glottalized articulation distinct from the plain "bu" syllable.
