Unicode Version 17.0
ㅷ
U+3177 "ㅷ" Hangul Letter Pieup-Thieuth is a rarely used archaic consonant cluster from the Hangul writing system, representing a combination of the bilabial sound "p" (pieup) and the dental sound "t" (thieuth). This character was part of the orthography for Middle Korean, where it denoted a tense or aspirated sound that did not persist into modern standard Korean. It is encoded in the Unicode Hangul Compatibility Jamo block, which preserves older and less common jamo for historical and scholarly purposes, though it is not typically found in contemporary texts or digital input methods.
