U+FFB0 "" Halfwidth Hangul Letter Rieul-Hieuh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+FFB0 "" Halfwidth Hangul Letter Rieul-Hieuh is a typographic variant of the fullwidth Hangul syllable block used in Korean writing, representing a composite consonant that combines the sounds of a "rieul" (ㄹ) and a "hieuh" (ㅎ). This character is part of the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, where it occupies half the typical character width for compatibility with legacy East Asian character encodings and monospaced display environments. Its primary role is to preserve phonetic accuracy in digital texts, particularly when rendering Hangul in fixed-width contexts like old terminals or certain text-based user interfaces, though it is rarely used in modern Korean digital communication due to the prevalence of fullwidth Hangul.
