Unicode Version 17.0
ꥠ
U+A960 "ꥠ" Hangul Choseong Tikeut-Mieum is a rarely used precomposed letter belonging to the Hangul Jamo Extended-A block, designed to represent an archaic or obsolete initial consonant cluster in the Korean writing system. Specifically, it combines the sounds of a "Tikeut" (ㄸ, a tense alveolar plosive) and a "Mieum" (ㅁ, a bilabial nasal) into a single leading consonant character, reflecting historical phonetic developments that are no longer standard in modern Hangul. This character is part of the effort to digitally encode all historical and scholarly Hangul forms, ensuring accurate representation in linguistic research and historical texts.
