삶
U+C0B6 "삶" Hangul Syllable Salm is a precomposed syllabic block representing the Korean syllable "salm," which encodes the phonological combination of the initial consonant "ㅅ" (s), the medial vowel "ㅏ" (a), and the final consonant cluster "ㄻ" (lm). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it allows for efficient text processing and display in digital environments by providing a single codepoint for a syllable that could otherwise be represented through a sequence of individual jamo characters. The syllable "삶" itself directly corresponds to the Korean word meaning "life" or "living," derived from the verb "살다" (to live), and is a common term used in everyday Korean language and literature.
