U+1153 "ᅓ" Hangul Choseong Chieuch-Hieuh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1153 "ᅓ" Hangul Choseong Chieuch-Hieuh is a precomposed consonant cluster used in the Korean writing system, specifically representing a double initial sound that combines the alveopalatal affricate chieuch (ㅊ) with the glottal fricative hieuh (ㅎ) in the Hunminjeongeum or early Hangul orthography. This character is part of the Hangul Jamo block, which encodes individual jamo components that were historically employed to write initial consonant clusters in Korean syllables, particularly in older texts or linguistic transcriptions where such combination sounds occurred. It serves as a distinct, single printed character rather than a sequence of separate jamo, reflecting the standardized encoding needed for digital representation of these once-regular phonetic clusters.
