U+C59E "얞" Hangul Syllable Yaenh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C59E "얞" Hangul Syllable Yaenh is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic compound "yaenh." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅇ (silent /ng/ in initial position), the vowel ㅒ (a diphthong pronounced like "yae"), and the final consonant ㄶ (a complex coda representing the sound "nh"). Because Hangul is featural and syllable-based, many possible syllables like 얞 were assigned individual codepoints in Unicode to ensure consistent digital representation and text processing, though in practice this specific syllable is extremely rare and not used in standard modern Korean vocabulary.
