U+115C "ᅜ" Hangul Choseong Nieun-Cieuc Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᅜ
U+115C "ᅜ" Hangul Choseong Nieun-Cieuc is a combining Jamo character used in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing a digraph consonant formed from "nieun" (ㄴ) and "cieuc" (ㅈ) that serves as an initial consonant cluster. This character belongs to the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block and was introduced to support earlier or historical textual forms, particularly for transcribing Middle Korean where such conjoined initial clusters were more common. While modern Korean orthography typically does not employ this specific digraph, U+115C allows for accurate representation of certain older or linguistically detailed documents, preserving phonetic distinctions that are no longer present in contemporary standard usage.
