Source: Browser Default
U+A968 "ꥨ" Hangul Choseong Rieul-Mieum is a compound initial consonant used in the Korean writing system, specifically belonging to the Hangul Jamo Extended-A block. It represents a blend of the sounds for "rieul" (ㄹ) and "mieum" (ㅁ) as a single lead consonant, which was historically utilized in medieval Korean orthography to denote a syllable-initial sequence that is no longer standard in modern Hangul. This character is thus an important artifact for scholars studying the phonological evolution of the Korean language, preserving a once-common consonant cluster that has since fallen out of regular use.
