U+C38C "쎌" Hangul Syllable Ssel Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
쎌
U+C38C "쎌" Hangul Syllable Ssel is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system of the Korean language, formed by combining the initial consonant “ㅆ” (a tensed, or fortis, s sound, romanized as ss) with the medial vowel “ㅔ” (e) and the final consonant “ㄹ” (l). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character represents a distinct phonetic unit that can be used in Korean words, though it is less common than its counterpart “쌀” (rice) due to the specific vowel and consonant combination. Visually, it appears as a single, block-shaped glyph that demonstrates the systematic, left-to-right then top-to-bottom arrangement typical of Hangul syllable construction.
