뿨
U+BFE8 “뿨” Hangul Syllable Bbweo is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script used for writing the Korean language, representing the sound “bbweo.” It is formed by combining the double consonant ㅃ (bb) with the vertical vowel ㅝ (weo), a complex vowel that itself combines ㅜ (u) and ㅓ (eo). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character helps enable compact encoding for Korean text, allowing efficient representation of syllable blocks that are standard in written Korean. Its use appears in contemporary Korean vocabulary, often in words or dialectal expressions, though it is less common than some other syllables.
