Unicode Version 17.0
쇊
U+C1CA "쇊" Hangul Syllable Swaenh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant “ㅅ” (s), the medial vowel “ㅙ” (wae), and the final consonant “ㄶ” (nh). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic blocks formed from the Korean alphabet through a systematic and predictable arrangement of initial, medial, and final jamo components. As such, “쇊” is used in written Korean, typically in older or more formal vocabulary, to represent a syllable that is pronounced with a breathy or tense nasal release at the end.
