U+110A "ᄊ" Hangul Choseong Ssangsios Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᄊ
U+110A "ᄊ" Hangul Choseong Ssangsios is a member of the Hangul Jamo block, representing the doubled or tense initial consonant sound "ss" in the Korean writing system, specifically the fortis version of the alveolar sibilant (similar to the "ss" in "bus seat"). This character is used exclusively as a leading consonant (choseong) in the formation of modern and precomposed Hangul syllables, where it combines with a medial vowel and an optional final consonant to form a complete syllable block. In the standard Korean alphabet, its standalone form corresponds to the letter "ㅆ," and it is distinct from the single "Sios" (ㅅ) as it indicates a tensed, emphatic pronunciation that can differentiate word meanings.
