쐬
U+C42C "쐬" Hangul Syllable Ssoe is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "ssoe" which combines an initial consonant "ㅆ" (ssangssang giyeok, a tense ss sound) with the medial vowel "ㅚ" (oe, a rounded front vowel). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllable blocks formed from the modern Korean alphabet according to the standard layout of initial, medial, and final components. It is used in the Korean language for words that include this specific syllable, such as in terms related to cooking or roasting when the verb "쐬다" is conjugated, though its usage frequency is relatively low compared to more common Hangul syllables.
