U+C495 "쒕" Hangul Syllable Ssweong Unicode Character
U+C495 "쒕" Hangul Syllable Ssweong is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅆ" (ssang shiot, representing a tense "ss" sound), the medial vowel "ㅝ" (wŏ), and the final consonant "ㅇ" (ieung, which here serves as a final velar nasal "ng"), collectively rendering the phonetic value of "ssweong." As part of the Hangul Syllables block, this character was encoded in Unicode 2.0 in 1996 and is used in Korean text to represent a syllable that may appear in certain native Korean words or loanword transcriptions, though it is less common in everyday vocabulary. Its inclusion in the standard ensures comprehensive coverage for digital text processing, enabling accurate representation of all possible syllabic combinations in the Hangul script.
