Unicode Version 17.0
썱
U+C371 "썱" Hangul Syllable Sseolg is a precomposed Hangul syllable that represents the Korean sound "sseolg," formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅆ" (ss) with the medial vowel "ㅓ" (eo) and the final consonant "ㄺ" (lg). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllables for the Korean writing system using a systematic allocation of codepoints. While not a common word in everyday modern Korean, "썱" appears primarily in specialized contexts such as linguistic transcriptions or archival texts where precise phonetic representation is needed, and its usage underscores the comprehensive nature of the Unicode standard in preserving the complete set of Korean syllabic characters.
