Unicode Version 17.0

U+A97A "ꥺ" Hangul Choseong Phieuph-Hieuh is a rare and specialized typographic symbol used in the historical or philological representation of the Korean Hangul script. It belongs to the Hangul Jamo Extended-A block and depicts a complex initial consonant cluster, combining the sounds of 'phieuph' (ㅍ, p) and 'hieuh' (ㅎ, h), though it is not part of modern standard Korean orthography. This character is primarily of interest to linguists, scholars of ancient Korean texts, and digital typographers who require precise encoding for archival or academic documentation of obsolete or dialectal Hangul forms.
