Unicode Version 17.0

U+C2E5 "싥" Hangul Syllable Silg is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅅ" (s), the vowel "ㅣ" (i), and the final consonant "ㄺ" (lg). This syllable is formed under the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, which encodes all possible combinations of initial, medial, and final jamo according to the Korean standard. The character "싥" itself is a valid but relatively rare syllable in Korean, primarily used in specific morphological contexts such as verb stems or dialectal spellings rather than common vocabulary. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital text can accurately represent the full range of Korean phonology and orthography, supporting both modern and historical usage.
