파
U+D30C "파" Hangul Syllable Pa is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the sound "pa." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅍ (pieup) with the vowel ㅏ (a). This character is used in the Korean writing system to write words such as 파도 meaning wave and 파란 meaning blue. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it allows for efficient digital text representation of Korean, where each syllable block corresponds to a unique code point rather than needing separate encoding for individual jamo components.
