Unicode Version 17.0
헎
U+D5CE "헎" Hangul Syllable Heonh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system known as Hangul. It represents the phonetic sound "Heonh", formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅎ" (hieut), the medial vowel "ㅓ" (eo), and the final consonant "ㄶ" (nieun-hieut), which is a double consonant cluster. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block, a range of code points in Unicode that encodes all possible syllable combinations from the Korean alphabet in a single, indivisible form for efficient text processing and display. As a standard cell in the Hangul syllabary, it is used in contemporary South and North Korean orthography to write native Korean words or loanwords requiring that specific syllable sound.
