U+11B9 "ᆹ" Hangul Jongseong Pieup-Sios Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+11B9 "ᆹ" Hangul Jongseong Pieup-Sios is a component of the modern Korean writing system, representing a final consonant cluster or syllable-final position that combines the sounds of the consonants pieup (ㅂ, a bilabial stop) and sios (ㅅ, a sibilant). This character is used to indicate a double final consonant in Hangul, often pronounced as a tense or unreleased [p̚] sound in standard Korean, though its exact phonetic realization can vary depending on regional dialects and phonological context. In Unicode, it belongs to the Hangul Jamo block and serves as a typographic unit for encoding this specific composite jamo, which appears in words like "값" (value) or "없" (as in the stem of the verb "to not exist"), demonstrating its role in preserving historical or morphological spelling despite simplified modern pronunciation.
