[edit] ㅚ

Transcription of "ㅚ" as "ВЕ" seems really strange, I would expect "ой" or something similar. The link to Kontsevich article has indeed "ВЕ", but I strongly suspect this is an error (moreover, "ВЕ" is already a transcription of "ㅞ"). rado 20:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm guessing it's a case of them being distinguished by funny diacritics that people can't or couldn't be bothered to type, kinda like what happens to McCune-Reischauer. There's the same problem of distinguishing ㅗ and ㅓ, both got transcribed by О according to ruwiki and that external link. Would be nice to have a printed reference --- there'd be a table in the back matter of a Russian-published Korean dictionary or textbook, probably. cab 21:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

No, the Kontsevich system is very unlikely to contain any diacritics - this would be very unusual for a Russian cyrillic based system. I did some research and I am puzzled. The World's Writing Systems by Peter T. Daniels (rather respectable book) gives the pronunciation of "ㅚ" as [we], which corresponds with Russian transcription as "ве". However, every other online source I have been able to find gives the pronunciation as [ø] or (historical) [oi̯]. rado 09:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
