Unicode Version 17.0
잣
U+C7A3 "잣" Hangul Syllable Jas is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "jat" and composed of the initial consonant ㅈ (jieut), the vowel ㅏ (a), and the final consonant ㅅ (siot). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it encodes a specific, fully formed syllable rather than requiring separate combination of its constituent jamo, simplifying text processing for Korean language content. In Korean, "잣" is a noun meaning "pine nut," a familiar ingredient in traditional cuisine, and is also used in compound words and cultural contexts, such as in the name of the famous landmark 낙산사 (Naksansa), where the syllable appears in the character for "jat" in a different compound.
