U+C74D "읍" Hangul Syllable Eub Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
읍
U+C74D "읍" Hangul Syllable Eub is a precomposed Hangul syllable that represents the Korean sound "eup" and is used in the modern Korean writing system. This character is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅇ (which is silent in initial position), the medial vowel ㅡ (eu), and the final consonant ㅂ (b), resulting in a syllable that appears in words such as "읍내" (eumnae, meaning township) or in formal speech endings like "습니다" (seumnida). As part of the Unicode standard, it allows for consistent digital representation across platforms, ensuring that the syllable is correctly displayed and processed in Korean text without requiring dynamic composition from its component jamo characters.
