U+C689 "욉" Hangul Syllable Oeb Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
욉
U+C689 "욉" Hangul Syllable Oeb is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul script, representing the sound "oeb." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅇ" (a silent placeholder used before vowels), the medial vowel "ㅚ" (which itself is a composite of "ㅗ" and "ㅣ," pronounced like the English "we" or the French "eu"), and the final consonant "ㅂ" (which produces a "b" or "p" sound at the syllable's end). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations in modern Korean, and it is used mainly in historical or specialized linguistic contexts, as the syllable "oeb" is rare in contemporary Korean vocabulary.
