U+C309 "쌉" Hangul Syllable Ssab Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C309 "쌉" Hangul Syllable Ssab is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "ssab" which begins with the tense, doubled consonant "ㅆ" (ss) and is followed by the vowel "ㅏ" (ah) and the final consonant "ㅂ" (b). This character is part of the vast Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of initial consonants, medial vowels, and final consonants in the Korean alphabet. "쌉" itself is not a common standalone word in Korean but can appear as a component in some native or loanword compounds, where its tense initial sound helps distinguish meaning from the plain "ㅅ" (s) series.
