U+C766 "읦" Hangul Syllable Yilp Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
읦
U+C766 "읦" Hangul Syllable Yilp is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic combination of an initial "ㅇ" (silent or placeholder consonant for initial y-), medial "ㅣ" (the vowel 'i'), and final "ㄿ" (the double consonant digraph 'lp'). This particular syllable is extremely rare in contemporary Korean vocabulary, as it relies on the final consonant cluster "ㄿ," which appears almost exclusively in a handful of native words, such as "읊다" (to recite or chant). As a result, "읦" is not commonly encountered in daily speech or modern writing, functioning primarily as a specialized linguistic element in the Unicode standard to ensure complete coverage of all possible Hangul syllabic blocks.
