U+3146 "ㅆ" Hangul Letter Ssangsios Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ㅆ
U+3146 "ㅆ" Hangul Letter Ssangsios is a double consonant from the Korean alphabet, representing the sound of a tensed or fortis "s" as in the English "ss" in "miss" but held tighter. This character is composed of two regular "ㅅ" (siot) characters stacked vertically, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures that the Korean writing system, known as Hangul, can be accurately represented in digital text. Used in modern Korean, "ㅆ" appears in words such as "싸다" (ssada) meaning "cheap" or "to wrap," and is distinct from its single counterpart due to its tense articulation, which can change the meaning of words.
