Source: Browser Default
U+318A "ㆊ" Hangul Letter Yu-Yeo is a historic and now obsolete syllable block used in medieval Korean writing, representing a compound vowel sound that combined the modern vowels "yu" (ㅠ) and "yeo" (ㅕ). This character was developed during the early days of Hangul to capture specific phonetic distinctions present in the Korean language of the 15th century, particularly in the transcription of Chinese characters and in older literary works. While it is no longer used in contemporary Korean, it remains a significant artifact for linguists and historians studying the evolution of Korean phonology and the development of the Hangul script.
