삼
U+C0BC "삼" Hangul Syllable Sam is a precomposed Hangul syllable that represents the Korean word for the number three, pronounced "sam." It is formed from the initial consonant ㅅ (s), the medial vowel ㅏ (a), and the final consonant ㅁ (m), and is widely used in Korean language, including in contexts such as dates, mathematics, and everyday counting. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it was encoded to support efficient text processing for Korean, where such syllables are precomposed rather than written as separate jamo components.
