Unicode Version 17.0

U+C3B5 "쎵" Hangul Syllable Ssyeong is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "ssyeong" which combines the initial consonant "ss" (a doubled "s" sound aspirated as a tense consonant) with the medial vowel "yeo" and the final nasal consonant "ng". This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations of Korean letters to facilitate digital text processing and display. While "쎵" is a valid and recognized syllable in the Korean alphabet, it is relatively rare in standard usage, often appearing in specialized contexts or transcriptions rather than in common vocabulary, and its formation follows the systematic orthographic rules that allow Hangul to represent a vast array of sounds.
