U+C770 "읰" Hangul Syllable Yik Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
읰
U+C770 "읰" Hangul Syllable Yik is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script used for writing the Korean language, combining the initial consonant “ㅇ” (a silent placeholder), the vowel “ㅣ” (i), and the final consonant “ᆿ” (k), which yields the phonetic value of “yik.” This character falls within the Hangul Syllables block of Unicode, which encodes all possible syllables formed by Korean jamo characters, and it is typically used in formal or lexical contexts where a specific syllabic block is required rather than a sequence of individual jamo.
