U+C5E9 "엩" Hangul Syllable Et Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C5E9 "엩" Hangul Syllable Et is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic value "et." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅇ (ieung, which is silent in initial position), the medial vowel ㅔ (e), and the final consonant ㅌ (tieut). This character appears in the Hangul Syllables block of Unicode, which was designed to encode all possible combinations of Korean syllabic blocks that follow the structural pattern of initial consonant, vowel, and optional final consonant. As a result, 엩 is used in written Korean to represent a specific sound, though it is relatively uncommon in everyday vocabulary and primarily serves as part of the systematic encoding of the entire Hangul syllabary.
