U+C55F "앟" Hangul Syllable Ah Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C55F "앟" Hangul Syllable Ah is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul script, representing the sound "ah" (ㅏ) with the final consonant "ㄹ" (rieul), forming a syllable block that is used in the Korean language. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it was encoded to support the systematic arrangement of Korean writing, where consonant and vowel letters are combined into syllabic units. This character is distinct from the digraph "앟" created by typing the letters individually, as it functions as a single, indivisible code point in digital text systems.
