U+D3A8 "펨" Hangul Syllable Pem Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
펨
U+D3A8 "펨" Hangul Syllable Pem is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system of the Korean language, representing the phonetic value "pem." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅍ (pieup, sounding like "p") with the vowel ㅔ (e, a mid-front vowel) and the final consonant ㅁ (mieum, sounding like "m"), creating a closed syllable. While not one of the most common syllables in everyday Korean vocabulary, it appears in words such as "펨토" (pemto, referring to "femto," the metric prefix), and is a valid unit within the Unicode Standard's extensive block of Hangul syllables, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean consonants and vowels for digital text representation.
