U+110E "ᄎ" Hangul Choseong Chieuch Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+110E "ᄎ" Hangul Choseong Chieuch is a leading consonant (choseong) from the ancient Korean writing system known as Hangul, representing the aspirated alveolar affricate sound /tɕʰ/, similar to the 'ch' in the English word "cheese." This character functions specifically as an initial consonant in a syllable block, combining with vowels and optional final consonants to form complete Hangul syllables. Historically, Chieuch was designed with a shape that in its earliest form represented the tip of a tongue touching the roof of the mouth, reflecting the phonetic principles of King Sejong the Great's creation. It is classified under the Hangul Jamo block, which includes both modern and archaic letters used for precise phonetic transcription in linguistic documentation and digital text processing.
