잏
U+C78F "잏" Hangul Syllable Ih is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul script, used for the Korean language, and it represents the phonetic sound “ih” as a combination of the initial consonant “ㅇ” (a silent placeholder) and the vowel “ㅣ” (i) with the final consonant “ㅎ” (h). This syllable is part of the vast Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations of Korean letters in a systematic order. In practical usage, “잏” is extremely rare in contemporary Korean text, as it does not commonly appear in standard vocabulary, but it exists within the encoding to ensure complete coverage of all theoretical syllabic forms for digital representation and historical linguistic purposes.
