U+BFE1 "뿡" Hangul Syllable Bbung Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
뿡
U+BFE1 "뿡" Hangul Syllable Bbung is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "bbung" with a doubled initial consonant. It is formed from the initial consonant ㅃ (ssangbieup, a tense bilabial stop) and the vowel ㅜ (u), resulting in a syllable block without a final consonant. This character falls within the Hangul Syllables block of Unicode, which encodes complete syllable blocks rather than individual jamo components, and it is used in modern Korean text to represent words or onomatopoeic expressions where the tense "bb" sound is required, such as the verb "뿡뿡" meaning to honk or toot.
