Unicode Version 17.0
셿
U+C17F "셿" Hangul Syllable Syelh is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "syeolh." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅅ (s), the medial vowel ㅖ (ye), and the final consonant ㅀ (lh), which itself is a digraph of ㅎ (h) following ㄹ (l). This particular syllable, like all modern and archaic Hangul syllables in the Unicode standard, was added to the block to ensure complete coverage of the Korean language’s syllabic inventory, though it is not frequently used in contemporary Korean text. Its inclusion in the Unicode set supports accurate digital representation and preservation of older or specialized Hangul usage.
