U+C40D "쐍" Hangul Syllable Sswat Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
쐍
U+C40D "쐍" Hangul Syllable Sswat is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "sswat" with the initial consonant "ss" (a doubled "s"), the vowel "wa" (a combination of "o" and "a"), and the final consonant "t". This syllable is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean letters as single characters for efficient text processing. In Korean, such syllables are used to write native words, but "쐍" is considered extremely rare or obsolete in contemporary usage, as it does not appear in standard dictionaries or common vocabulary, making it a mostly typographical or historical curiosity rather than a practical linguistic element.
