U+C5E2 "엢" Hangul Syllable Ebs Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
엢
U+C5E2 "엢" Hangul Syllable Ebs is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language. It represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant ㅇ (a silent placeholder), the vowel ㅔ (e), and the final consonant ㅄ (bs), resulting in the sound "ebs" or "eps." As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is encoded as a single code point rather than being composed from separate jamo components, which facilitates text processing and display in digital environments. Its usage is primarily in written Korean, though it appears relatively infrequently compared to more common syllables, and it can be found in certain borrowings or transliterations.
