U+C254 "쉔" Hangul Syllable Swen Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
쉔
U+C254 "쉔" Hangul Syllable Swen is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system of the Korean language, formed from the initial consonant “ㅅ” (s), the medial vowel “ㅞ” (we), and the final consonant “ㄴ” (n). This particular block represents a sound that blends these components into a single syllable, which in South Korea is typically romanized as “swen” according to the Revised Romanization system, though it is not a common syllable in everyday Korean vocabulary. As part of the Hangul Syllables block, which contains over 11,000 precomposed syllables, “쉔” is encoded to efficiently represent the full inventory of possible Korean syllable blocks without requiring dynamic composition from individual jamo characters.
