Unicode Version 17.0
엉
U+C5C9 "엉" Hangul Syllable Eong is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "eong" as in the English word "sung" but with a stronger initial vowel. It is formed from the initial consonant ㅇ (ieung, which is silent in this position), the medial vowel ㅓ (eo), and the final consonant ㅇ (ieung, acting as a nasal velar stop). In Korean, this syllable appears in common words such as "엉덩이" (eongdeongi, meaning "buttocks" or "hip") and "엉망" (eongmang, meaning "mess" or "disaster"), and it is frequently used in informal language for expressions like "엉?" (eong?, indicating confusion or a questioning sound).
