Unicode Version 17.0
섈
U+C108 "섈" Hangul Syllable Syael is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing the Korean sound "syael," which is formed from the initial consonant ㅅ (s), the medial vowel ㅒ (yae), and the final consonant ㄹ (l). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible precomposed syllable combinations from the Korean writing system to facilitate text processing and rendering. It is used in modern Korean for representing words or syllables that contain this specific phonetic combination, such as in loanwords or certain native vocabulary, and its existence simplifies encoding by avoiding the need to combine individual jamo characters dynamically.
