U+C6AF "욯" Hangul Syllable Yoh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C6AF "욯" Hangul Syllable Yoh is a specific precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language, representing the phonetic combination of the consonant ㅇ (ieung, a silent initial when at the start of a syllable) and the diphthong ㅛ (yo), followed by the final consonant ㅎ (hieut). This syllable is part of the vast Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllable combinations in the Korean alphabet according to the standard syllabic structure of initial, medial, and final characters. While the syllable "욯" is a valid and defined form in the Unicode standard, it is extremely rare in everyday Korean usage, as the final consonant ㅎ is not commonly found in modern Korean syllables with the vowel yo, making it a somewhat obscure or theoretical component of the script rather than a frequently used word.
