Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+316D "" Hangul Letter Rieul-Yeorinhieuh is a complex and rarely used jamo from the Korean Hangul writing system, representing a composite consonant sound that combines a "rieul" (ㄹ) with a "yeorinhieuh" (ㅎ) element, producing a sound similar to a tense or aspirated lateral fricative. This character is part of the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block in Unicode, where it serves as a typographic representation of a historical or dialectal consonant cluster that is not commonly used in modern standard Korean. In contemporary usage, "ㅭ" appears primarily in linguistic studies or older texts, as its sound has largely merged into simpler consonant patterns in the spoken language.
