U+11A2 "ᆢ" Hangul Jungseong Ssangaraea Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᆢ
U+11A2 "ᆢ" Hangul Jungseong Ssangaraea is a historical vowel character used in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing a double or lengthened version of the middle vowel "araea" (ㆍ), which itself denotes a low or dark vowel sound no longer used in modern standard Korean. This character appears primarily in archaic or scholarly texts, particularly those from the Joseon dynasty, where it was employed to transcribe specific phonological distinctions in Middle Korean that have since merged or disappeared. Due to its obsolescence, ᆢ is rarely seen in contemporary Korean writing, but it remains available in Unicode for the purpose of accurately representing and digitizing historical documents and linguistic studies.
