잎
U+C78E "잎" Hangul Syllable Ip is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "ip" as a single block of characters. This glyph combines the initial consonant ㅇ (ieung, a silent placeholder when at the start of a syllable in modern Korean) with the vowel ㅣ (i) and the final consonant ㅍ (pieup, representing the 'p' sound), forming the word for "leaf" in Korean. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it is encoded as a single code point for efficient text processing and display, allowing the complex jamo (letter) components to be rendered together as a complete syllable.
