U+C368 "써" Hangul Syllable Sseo Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C368 "써" Hangul Syllable Sseo is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul writing system, representing the Korean sound "sseo." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅆ (ss, a tense s sound) with the vowel ㅓ (eo, like the "u" in "cup") to create a single, indivisible character block. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it is widely used in modern Korean text for words such as "쓰다" (to use) in its inflected form, and its fixed codepoint ensures consistent digital representation and display across devices and software that support the Korean script.
