U+C5DF "엟" Hangul Syllable Elh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
엟
U+C5DF "엟" Hangul Syllable Elh is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing the sound "elh," formed from the initial consonant ᆼ (ieung, which is silent as an initial), the medial vowel ㅔ (e), and the final consonant cluster ᆶ (rieul and hieuh, representing the "lh" sound). This syllable is part of the modern Korean alphabet, though it is rarely used in everyday Korean vocabulary, appearing instead in some technical or historical contexts within the language. As a precomposed character in Unicode, it allows for efficient text processing by providing a single codepoint for this specific syllable, rather than requiring a sequence of individual jamo characters.
