쑀
U+C440 "쑀" Hangul Syllable Ssoess is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul writing system, used to represent the Korean language. It is formed by combining the initial consonant “ㅆ” (ssang shiot, representing a tense “ss” sound), the vowel “ㅚ” (oe), and the final consonant “ㅅ” (Shiot). In standard Korean pronunciation, this syllable is articulated as “ssoess,” though it is a relatively rare character not commonly found in everyday Korean vocabulary. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it was encoded to support the complete inventory of syllabic blocks required for digital text representation of modern and historical Korean.
