U+C55A "앚" Hangul Syllable Aj Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
앚
U+C55A "앚" Hangul Syllable Aj is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language. It represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant 'ㅇ' (a silent placeholder or the /ŋ/ sound at syllable-final positions), the medial vowel 'ㅏ' (the "a" sound as in "father"), and the final consonant 'ㅈ' (the "j" sound like the "j" in "jungle"), thus forming the syllable "aj." This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllable combinations from the Korean alphabet, allowing for efficient digital representation of written Korean without requiring dynamic composition of individual jamo letters.
