U+C49A "쒚" Hangul Syllable Ssweop Unicode Character
U+C49A "쒚" Hangul Syllable Ssweop is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system Hangul, representing the phonetic block "ssweop." This character is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅆ (ssang shiot, a double s sound), the medial vowel ㅟ (wi, pronounced like the "we" in "wet"), and the final consonant ㅂ (bieup, the b or p sound), though it is not commonly used in standard modern Korean vocabulary. As part of the Hangul Syllables block (U+AC00 to U+D7AF), it follows the systematic arrangement of Korean syllabic blocks, where each character encodes the full phonetic value of a syllable. The character is encoded in Unicode to support the representation of all possible Hangul syllables from the standard Korean orthography.
