U+C5C3 "엃" Hangul Syllable Eolh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
엃
U+C5C3 "엃" Hangul Syllable Eolh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant ㅇ (ieung, which is silent in initial position), the medial vowel ㅓ (eo), and the final consonant cluster ㄹㅎ (rieul and hieuh, representing the sound lh). This specific syllable corresponds to the phonetic value "eolh" and belongs to the "Hangul Syllables" block of Unicode, which encodes all possible syllables that can be formed from the Korean alphabet. While it is a valid and standardized character in the Unicode standard, it is extremely rare in actual Korean language usage because the final consonant cluster "ㄹㅎ" appears in very few native or Sino-Korean words.
