Unicode Version 17.0

U+C3F8 "쏸" Hangul Syllable Sswan is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the phonetic sound "sswan." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅆ" (ss), the medial vowel "ㅘ" (wa), and the final consonant "ㄴ" (n), which together create a valid though relatively uncommon syllable in Korean vocabulary. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character allows for efficient text representation and processing of Korean, ensuring that complex syllable blocks are encoded as single code points rather than requiring separate composition from individual jamo letters.
