U+BCB4 "벴" Hangul Syllable Bess is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, used in the Korean language. It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅂ (bieup), the vowel ㅔ (e), and the final consonant cluster ㅆ (ssang shiot), which together create the sound typically romanized as "bess." This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which contains all possible syllables that can be formed from the Korean alphabet, and it is used in written Korean to represent words or morphemes such as the verb stem “벴” meaning “to have cut” (from the verb 베다). Its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent digital representation across systems and platforms.
