U+C79F "잟" Hangul Syllable Jalh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
잟
U+C79F "잟" Hangul Syllable Jalh is a precomposed syllable representing the Korean sound "jalh" or "jam" depending on pronunciation context, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅈ" (j), the vowel "ㅏ" (a), and the final consonant "ㅀ" (lh) in the Hangul writing system. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which includes precomposed syllables for efficient text representation, and it is used in the Korean language to denote words or morphemes that end with the 받침 (batchim) "ㅀ", such as in the verb "만잖다" (not purely "잟" but related forms). The syllable is encoded as a single Unicode code point rather than as a sequence of individual jamo characters, simplifying processing in Korean text.
