U+314A "ㅊ" Hangul Letter Chieuch is a jamo, or individual letter, from the Korean alphabet Hangul, representing the aspirated affricate sound "ch" as in the English word "church." It belongs to the set of consonants and is used in modern Korean to form syllables by combining with vowels or other jamo, often appearing in words like "차" (cha) meaning tea or car.
