U+113B "ᄻ" Hangul Choseong Sios-Hieuh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+113B "ᄻ" Hangul Choseong Sios-Hieuh is a precomposed initial consonant cluster used in the Korean Hangul script, representing the combination of a Sios (ㅅ) and a Hieuh (ㅎ) sound at the start of a syllable. This character is part of the Hangul Jamo block in Unicode and is employed in historical or linguistic transcriptions of Korean, particularly to denote a complex onset that appears in certain Middle Korean forms or in modern usage for specific dialects and phonetic precision. It does not occur in standard modern South Korean orthography but remains relevant for scholarly work on Korean language evolution and for representing aspirated or tense consonant clusters in legacy texts.
