Unicode Version 17.0
싸
U+C2F8 "싸" Hangul Syllable Ssa is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the sound "ssa". It is formed from the initial consonant ㅆ (ssang shiot, a double "s" sound) and the vowel ㅏ (a), resulting in a tensed or reinforced pronunciation distinct from the single consonant "sa". As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character allows for efficient text processing and display of Korean, where hundreds of such syllabic blocks are standard in written language. Its encoding facilitates consistent digital representation across platforms and fonts, supporting the rich phonetic structure of Korean in electronic communication and documentation.
