U+C0FA "샺" Hangul Syllable Syaj Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C0FA "샺" Hangul Syllable Syaj is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "syaj" as a combination of the initial consonant ㅅ (s), the medial vowel ㅑ (ya), and the final consonant ㅈ (j). While it is a valid and encoded unit within the Unicode Standard’s vast Hangul Syllables block, this specific syllable is extremely rare in standard Korean vocabulary and is not commonly used in everyday modern language or literature. Its inclusion ensures comprehensive coverage for all possible Hangul syllable combinations, supporting historical, technical, or specialized linguistic contexts, but it remains largely absent from practical written Korean.
