U+317C "ㅼ" Hangul Letter Sios-Tikeut Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+317C "ㅼ" Hangul Letter Sios-Tikeut is a precomposed Hangul jamo that represents a digraph combining the consonants Sios (ㅅ) and Tikeut (ㄷ), reflecting a historical or specific phonetic cluster used in the Korean writing system. It is part of the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block in Unicode, which was designed to support compatibility with earlier encoding standards for the Korean alphabet. This character was primarily used in older forms of Korean orthography or in linguistic notation to denote a double or compound initial consonant, though in modern standard Korean such clusters are typically written as separate jamo. The inclusion of this letter in Unicode ensures the accurate digital representation of historical and specialized Korean texts.
