U+C897 "좗" Hangul Syllable Jwalb Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
좗
U+C897 "좗" Hangul Syllable Jwalb is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅈ" (jieut) with the medial vowel "ㅘ" (wa) and the final consonant "ㄼ" (rieul bieup), which together produce the sound /tɕwalb/. As part of the Hangul Syllables block, it represents a standardized unit in Unicode for encoding Korean text, primarily used in historical or linguistic contexts rather than in common contemporary vocabulary. Its composite structure reflects the phonetic stacking principle of Hangul, where each syllable block is composed of individual jamo characters arranged in a two dimensional layout.
