Also known as yennieung
Yennieung (letter: ; name: ) is an archaic consonant letter of the Korean alphabet, Hangul. It was associated with an voiced velar nasal sound. In Unicode, its name is spelled yesieung, following the ISO/TR 11941 romanization system. The letter is no longer used in modern Hangul orthographies. Its function gradually merged with that of the letter ; that letter now fulfills both their previous roles.

ㆁ是一个朝鲜语谚文字母，为辅音字母，现已废弃不用。 ㆁ在训民正音创制时使用，在中古朝鲜语中读音为软颚鼻音ŋ。此音节作为初声使用时用ㆁ表记，作终声时则用另一个外观相似的字母ㅇ来表记。在朝鲜语的吏读中对应汉语三十六字母中的疑母和喻母。 大约在16世纪末期，初声ŋ从朝鲜语中脱落消失。在1933年日本殖民政府颁布的《》中，该字母被废除，并入ㅇ并延续至今。
