U+1149 "ᅉ" Hangul Choseong Ieung-Chieuch Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᅉ
U+1149 "ᅉ" Hangul Choseong Ieung-Chieuch is a rarely used initial consonant cluster in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing a conjunction of the sounds for the silent placeholder ㅇ (ieung) and the aspirated ㅊ (chieuch). This composite character was historically employed in Middle Korean texts to denote a specific phonetic blend that is no longer productive in modern Korean, where such clusters are absent from standard orthography. It belongs to the Hangul Jamo Extended-A block, which encodes obsolete or specialized jamo, and effectively functions as a typographic or scholarly artifact rather than a contemporary textual element.
