U+C6BF "욿" Hangul Syllable Ulh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C6BF "욿" Hangul Syllable Ulh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul script used for the Korean language, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅇ" (a silent placeholder), the medial vowel "ㅜ" (u), and the final consonant "ㄹㅎ" (lh), which together produce the sound "ulh." This character was added to the Unicode Standard as part of the Hangul Syllables block, which systematically encodes all possible syllable blocks formed by the combination of initial, medial, and final jamo (letters) according to the rules of Hangul orthography. While "욿" is a valid and correctly formed syllable, it is not commonly used in everyday Korean vocabulary, as the final consonant cluster "ㄹㅎ" occurs primarily in rare or archaic words rather than in standard modern speech. As with all precomposed Hangul syllables, it serves to simplify text processing and display by representing a full syllable as a single code point rather than requiring separate encoding of each jamo.
