Unicode Version 17.0
얔
U+C594 "얔" Hangul Syllable Yak is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "yak." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅇ" (ieung), the vowel "ㅑ" (ya), and the final consonant "ㅋ" (kieuk), which together create a syllable that does not correspond to a common standalone word in standard Korean. Instead, it may appear in specific vocabulary or proper nouns, such as in transliterations or rare compound terms, and is used in digital text encoding to ensure accurate representation of the Korean language in various software and communication systems.
