U+C2CA "싊" Hangul Syllable Syilm Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C2CA "싊" Hangul Syllable Syilm is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, representing the sound "syilm" in modern Korean. This character was added to the Unicode standard as part of the Hangul Syllables block, which was introduced to unify and encode the tens of thousands of possible syllable blocks formed by combining Korean initial consonants, vowels, and final consonants. Specifically, "싊" is composed of the initial consonant ㅅ (s), the vowel ㅣ (i), and the final consonant ㄻ (lm), though it is not a common or frequently used syllable in contemporary Korean vocabulary. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that all historic and linguistic variations of the Korean writing system can be digitally represented and preserved.
