U+C3C8 "쏈" Hangul Syllable Ssyels is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant “ss” (a tense, double ‘s’ sound), the medial vowel “ye” (a diphthong beginning with a ‘y’ sound), and the final consonant “l” (the Korean ‘ㄹ’). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it was encoded to support the efficient digital representation of the Korean language by grouping individual jamo characters into single syllable blocks.
