U+D208 "툈" Hangul Syllable Toess is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic sound "toess" as it appears in the modern Korean writing system. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block, which contains a comprehensive set of syllable combinations formed by joining an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant, all encoded as single, indivisible code points for efficient text processing.
