U+C2ED "십" Hangul Syllable Sib Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
십
U+C2ED "십" Hangul Syllable Sib is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, representing the Korean word for the number ten. It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅅ (s) and the vowel ㅣ (i), with the final consonant ㅂ (b) at the bottom, though in standard Korean pronunciation it is read as "sip" or "ship" due to Korean phonotactic rules. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllable combinations of the Korean alphabet as single code points for efficient text processing. As a common numeral in Korean, "십" appears frequently in dates, prices, and measurements, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent digital representation across platforms and languages.
