U+D7B6 "ힶ" Hangul Jungseong U-I-I Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+D7B6 "ힶ" Hangul Jungseong U-I-I is a precomposed vowel symbol used in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing a specific triphthong sound formed by the combination of the vowel "U" (ㅜ), "I" (ㅣ), and another "I" (ㅣ), making it a rare and complex vowel cluster found in the modern standard Korean phonetic repertoire. This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block, though it is technically a standalone Jungseong (medial vowel) character rather than a full syllable, and its usage is largely limited to academic or specialized linguistic transcriptions due to its infrequent occurrence in everyday Korean text.
