U+C5A5 "얥" Hangul Syllable Yaelt Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C5A5 "얥" Hangul Syllable Yaelt is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing the sound "yaelt", formed from the initial consonant ㅇ (ieung, silent), the medial vowel ㅒ (yae), and the final consonant ㄾ (rieul thieut). This specific syllable is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible modern Korean syllable combinations in a single, logically coded range. While it is a valid and encoded syllable, it is considered rare in everyday Korean usage, as the combination of ㅒ with the double consonant final ㄾ is not common in standard vocabulary. Nevertheless, its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that any text containing this syllable can be consistently represented and rendered across different digital platforms and systems.
