U+C3BC "쎼" Hangul Syllable Ssye Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
쎼
U+C3BC "쎼" Hangul Syllable Ssye is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "ssye" as a tense consonant followed by the vowel "ye". It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block, which encodes all possible combinations of initial consonants, medial vowels, and final consonants in a single character for efficient text processing. This specific syllable is formed by the double consonant "쌍시옷 (ssang shiot)" equivalent to a doubled "s" sound and the vowel "예 (ye)". While it is a valid and correctly encoded character in the Unicode standard, "쎼" is relatively rare in practical Korean usage, appearing primarily in specialized or loanword contexts rather than in common everyday vocabulary.
