U+C564 "앤" Hangul Syllable Aen Unicode Character
U+C564 "앤" Hangul Syllable Aen is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing the sound "aen" as pronounced in Korean. It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅇ (ieung, which is silent), the vowel ㅐ (ae), and the final consonant ㄴ (nieun). Like other Hangul syllables in Unicode, this character is part of the Hangul Syllables block, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations of Korean letters for efficient text processing. In modern Korean, "앤" is primarily used in borrowed words or names, such as in the English name "Anne" or words like "애니메이션" (animation), where it carries a sound similar to the English short "a" followed by an "n." It is widely supported across digital platforms and operating systems due to the critical role of Hangul in Korean typography and communication.
