Unicode Version 17.0
얨
U+C5A8 "얨" Hangul Syllable Yaem is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "yaem" as a combination of the initial consonant ㅇ (which is silent), the medial vowel ㅒ (yae), and the final consonant ㅁ (m). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block, which encodes all possible syllabic groupings of Korean jamo characters into a single code point for efficient text processing. As a precomposed form, it allows digital systems to display and manipulate the complete syllable as a single unit rather than requiring separate jamo combination, ensuring consistent rendering in modern computing environments.
