Hangul Jamo Extended-B is a Unicode block containing positional (jungseong and jongseong) forms of archaic Hangul vowel and consonant clusters. They can be used to dynamically compose syllables that are not available as precomposed Hangul syllables in Unicode, specifically syllables that are not used in standard modern Korean.
