U+C896 "좖" Hangul Syllable Jwalm is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant “ㅈ” (j), the medial vowel “ㅘ” (wa), and the final consonant “ㄻ” (lm). It is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllables formed from the Korean alphabet, and its specific pronunciation, “jwalm,” is relatively rare in standard Korean vocabulary, though it can appear in certain loanwords, archaic terms, or technical linguistic contexts. The character is displayed in modern text rendering systems as a single block-shaped glyph, following the typical square composition of Hangul syllables.
