옥
U+C625 "옥" Hangul Syllable Og is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul script, representing the Korean sound "ok" as in the word for jade.

It is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean jamo characters in a systematic order. As a standard character, "옥" is widely used in Korean writing and can be reliably displayed across most modern digital systems and fonts.
