U+C281 "슁" Hangul Syllable Swing Unicode Character
U+C281 "슁" Hangul Syllable Swing is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script used for the Korean language, specifically representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant ᄊ (a double s sound), the medial vowel ㅟ (wi), and the final consonant ᆼ (ng), which together form the syllable "swing." This syllable is found within the Hangul Syllables block of the Unicode standard, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean initial consonants, medial vowels, and final consonants as single characters for efficient text processing and display. While not a common word in everyday Korean, "슁" can appear in transliterations of foreign terms, such as the English word "swing," or in certain onomatopoeic or specialized contexts, though it is often replaced by the similar but more common syllable "씌" in practice.
