U+C260 "쉠" Hangul Syllable Swem Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
쉠
U+C260 "쉠" Hangul Syllable Swem is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, the writing system for the Korean language. It represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅅ" (siot, sounding like "s") followed by the medial vowel "ㅞ" (we, sounding like "weh") and the final consonant "ㅁ" (mieum, sounding like "m"), resulting in the syllable "swem." As part of the Hangul Syllables block within Unicode, this character encodes the fully formed syllable as a single code point, which simplifies text processing and ensures consistent rendering in digital environments. Its pronunciation and usage are consistent with standard Korean phonology, though the syllable itself is relatively rare in everyday vocabulary.
