U+113E "ᄾ" Hangul Choseong Ceongchieumsios Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᄾ
U+113E "ᄾ" Hangul Choseong Ceongchieumsios is a rare and obsolete initial consonant in the Korean writing system, representing an archaic syllable-initial sound that combined a tense or fortis sios (ㅆ) with a palatal or affricate quality, similar to a double s or sh sound. It belongs to the Hangul Jamo Extended-A block and is classified as a Choseong, meaning it appears only at the beginning of a syllable in the traditional orthography. This character is no longer used in modern Korean, having been part of a historical effort to precisely represent certain sounds in early Hangul texts, and it now serves primarily as a subject of study for linguists and scholars of the Korean script.
