U+C8AE "좮" Hangul Syllable Jwaenh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
좮
U+C8AE "좮" Hangul Syllable Jwaenh is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script used to write the Korean language. It is formed by combining the initial consonant jieut (ㅈ) with the vowel wa (ㅘ) representing a "w" offglide, and the final consonant nieun (ㄴ), though its phonetic value is a more complex coda cluster indicated by the "enh" romanization. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllable combinations of the Korean alphabet as individual code points, and it represents a specific yet relatively rare syllable found in certain vocabulary or technical contexts.
