U+C3E0 "쏠" Hangul Syllable Ssol is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic sound “ssol” as in the English word “soul” with a tense initial ‘s’ sound. It is composed of the initial consonant ㅆ (ssang shiot, a double ‘s’) and the vowel ㅗ (o), which together form a distinct syllable block used in the Korean writing system. This character is encoded in Unicode under the Hangul Syllables block, which provides a complete set of precomposed syllables for digital text processing and display, allowing Korean language text to be represented efficiently without requiring dynamic composition from individual jamo characters.
