U+C73B "윻" Hangul Syllable Yuh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
윻
U+C73B "윻" Hangul Syllable Yuh is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, used to write the Korean language. It represents the phonetic value "yuh," formed by combining the initial consonant ㅇ (a placeholder for no initial consonant sound, which can carry a silent or null onset) with the medial vowel ㅠ (yu) and the final consonant ㅎ (h), resulting in a syllable that is rarely if ever used in standard contemporary Korean vocabulary. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character was encoded to ensure comprehensive representation of all possible syllable combinations derived from the Korean alphabet, even those that are obsolete or extremely uncommon in actual writing.
