ᄱ
U+1131 "ᄱ" Hangul Choseong Sios-Mieum is a precomposed consonant cluster used in the Korean writing system, representing the initial sound of a syllable formed by combining the consonants ㅅ (siot) and ㅁ (mieum) in sequence. It is part of the Hangul Jamo block and was primarily employed in historical or obsolete Korean orthography to transcribe specific syllable-initial blends that are not used in modern standard Korean. As a compound jamo, it denotes a phonetic sequence beginning with an /s/ sound followed by an /m/ sound, and it functions as an onset character that must be paired with a medial vowel and an optional final consonant to form a complete Hangul syllable.
