Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+BD08 "봈" Hangul Syllable Boss is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the phonetic sound "bos" or "boss" based on its component jamo letters: the initial consonant ㅂ (bieup), the medial vowel ㅗ (o), and the final consonant ㅆ (ssanggieut). This specific block, the Hangul Syllables range, was introduced in Unicode version 2.0 to efficiently encode the tens of thousands of possible syllable blocks in the Hangul script. While the syllable "boss" is not a common Korean word in standard vocabulary, it appears in contexts where foreign loanwords, technical transcriptions, or creative usages require a direct phonetic mapping to the English borrowing for "boss" or similar terms.
