U+C2A5 "슥" Hangul Syllable Seug Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C2A5 "슥" Hangul Syllable Seug is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, specifically formed by combining the initial consonant ㅅ (s), the medial vowel ㅡ (eu), and the final consonant ㄱ (g or k). This character represents a distinct phonetic unit in Korean, where it corresponds to the sound "seuk" as pronounced in standard Korean speech. While not one of the most common syllables in everyday Korean vocabulary, it appears in words such as "슥슥" which implies a smooth, sliding motion, and is a fundamental component of the structural block that the Korean writing system uses to represent syllables as discrete character units.
