U+3176 "ㅶ" Hangul Letter Pieup-Cieuc Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+3176 "ㅶ" Hangul Letter Pieup-Cieuc is a composite jamo, or a combination of two Korean consonant letters, representing the old, obsolete phoneme /p͈t͡ɕʰ/ (or similarly a tense aspirated affricate) that existed in Middle Korean but is no longer used in the modern Hangul writing system. It visually combines the shapes of a Pieup (ㅂ) and a Cieuc (ㅈ) to indicate a blended articulation, and it belongs to the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block, which was created for compatibility with earlier Korean character encoding standards. This character is rarely encountered in contemporary texts, as it is not part of the standard modern Korean alphabet, but it may appear in historical linguistic documentation or specialized transcriptions of Middle Korean.
