We review the recent advance in the understanding of the optoelectronic properties of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) in the deep ultraviolet. The comparison between bulk hBN and monolayer hBN highlights some of their major differences such the bandgap nature, the excitonic binding energy and the phonon-assisted broadening of the excitonic lines. Perspectives point out the relevance of addressing the regime of hBN samples made of a very few number of monolayers, including twisted hBN monolayers in the context of twistronics.
