Unicode Version 17.0
열
U+C5F4 "열" Hangul Syllable Yeol is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "yeol." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅇ (which is silent as an initial in modern Korean), the vowel ㅕ (yeo), and the final consonant ㄹ (l), resulting in a single encoded character rather than a sequence of individual jamo components. This syllable appears in numerous Korean words, including "열" meaning "heat" or "fever" and "열" meaning "row" or "line," depending on context. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it enables efficient text processing and consistent rendering of the Korean script across digital platforms.
