Unicode Version 17.0
좩
U+C8A9 "좩" Hangul Syllable Jwaeg is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, specifically belonging to the Hangul Syllables block in the Unicode standard. It represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant “ㅈ” (jieut, sounding like the English “j”), the medial vowel “ㅙ” (wae, a diphthong pronounced like “weh”), and the final consonant “ㄱ” (giyeok, sounding like the “g” or “k” in English). While this syllable does not correspond to a commonly used Korean word in everyday vocabulary, it exists as a valid phonetic construct within the systematic arrangement of the Hangul alphabet, which allows for the precise representation of spoken Korean sounds through its modular block structure.
