U+A963 "ꥣ" Hangul Choseong Tikeut-Cieuc Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+A963 "ꥣ" Hangul Choseong Tikeut-Cieuc is a modern typographic element used in the representation of the Korean writing system, specifically belonging to the Hangul Jamo Extended-A block. It encodes a composite initial consonant cluster, formed by combining the sounds of "tikeut" (representing the Korean consonant ᄃ) and "cieuc" (representing ᄌ), which corresponds phonetically to a voiced alveolo-palatal affricate sound. This character is not found in standard modern Hangul but is part of a set of jamo (letters) designed for historical or specialized linguistic transcription, including the notation of Middle Korean or dialectal pronunciations. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for precise digital representation of such phonetic details, supporting scholarly work and preserving the full range of Korean phonological history.
