U+1119 "ᄙ" Hangul Choseong Ssangrieul Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1119 "ᄙ" Hangul Choseong Ssangrieul is a precomposed leading consonant (choseong) used in the Korean Hangul writing system for the Old Korean or Middle Korean language, representing a double or tense form of the "rieul" consonant. This character historically functioned as an initial syllable block component, equivalent to a doubled "ㄹ" (rieul) sound, but it is now largely obsolete in modern standard Korean, which does not permit initial double "ㄹ" clusters. It resides in the Hangul Jamo block of Unicode, specifically within the range dedicated to archaic or specialized jamo characters that support historical linguistic documentation and digital preservation of older texts.
