Source: Browser Default
U+BCD8 "볘" Hangul Syllable Bye is a precomposed syllable representing the Korean sound "bye," formed from the initial consonant bieup (ㅂ, equivalent to 'b'), the medial vowel ye (ㅖ, a diphthong pronounced 'yeh'), and no final consonant. It is part of the modern Hangul syllabary used in the Korean writing system, where thousands of such syllable blocks are encoded individually in Unicode for efficient text processing. This specific syllable appears in Korean vocabulary, such as in the word "볘" (bye), which can be used as a respectful honorific title meaning "madam" or "lady" when addressing a married woman, though it is less common than alternative forms like "부인" or "아주머니" in contemporary speech.
