Unicode Version 17.0
쒸
U+C4B8 "쒸" Hangul Syllable Sswi is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script used for writing the Korean language, combining the initial consonant "ㅆ" (a double s sound) with the medial vowel "ㅟ" (pronounced like the English "wee") to form a single syllable block. It represents a tense s sound followed by a front rounded vowel and is used in Korean words such as "쒸다" meaning to whisper or rustle, though it is relatively rare in everyday vocabulary. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllable combinations based on the Korean writing system's phonetic principles.
