U+C617 "옗" Hangul Syllable Yelh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
옗
U+C617 "옗" Hangul Syllable Yelh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, specifically formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅇ" (a silent placeholder, here representing no initial sound), the medial vowel "ㅖ" (ye), and the final consonant "ㅀ" (lh, a double consonant cluster). This syllable, while valid in the Hangul syllabic block structure and present in the Unicode standard for textual representation, is extremely rare in contemporary Korean vocabulary and appears primarily in historical or specialized linguistic contexts rather than in everyday language use.
