U+110C "ᄌ" Hangul Choseong Cieuc Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+110C "ᄌ" Hangul Choseong Cieuc is a component of the Hangul writing system for Korean, specifically representing the initial consonant sound "j" (similar to the English "j" in "judge") when it appears at the beginning of a syllable, known as a choseong or leading consonant. It is classified as a jamo, a single alphabetic element used to build full syllabic blocks, and its shape corresponds to the modern Hangul letter ᄌ. This character is encoded in the Hangul Jamo block of Unicode to facilitate digital representation and processing of Korean text, particularly in older or more granular orthographic contexts where precomposed syllable forms are not used.
