Unicode Version 17.0

U+C59C "얜" Hangul Syllable Yaen is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script used to write the Korean language. It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅇ (a placeholder for a silent onset), the vowel ㅒ (the diphthong "yae"), and the final consonant ㄴ ("n"), resulting in the sound "yaen." This syllable may appear in native Korean words or loanwords, though it is relatively uncommon in everyday vocabulary, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper digital representation and text processing for the Korean writing system.
