U+11D8 "" Hangul Jongseong Rieul-Khieukh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+11D8 "" Hangul Jongseong Rieul-Khieukh is a component of the Korean Hangul writing system, specifically designed to represent a final consonant cluster in syllable-final position. This character combines the sounds of "rieul" (ㄹ) and "khieukh" (ㅋ) into a single composite jongseong, or final consonant, which historically appeared in Middle Korean but is no longer used in standard modern Hangul orthography. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves this historical character for linguistic study, textual archiving, and the accurate representation of older Korean texts. As a precomposed form, it allows digital systems to correctly render a phonetically distinct sound that would otherwise require separate notation, ensuring compatibility across platforms and fonts that support the Hangul Jamo Extended-A block.
