죎
U+C8CE "죎" Hangul Syllable Joelm is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "joelm" (from the initial consonant ᄌ, medial vowel ᅬ, and final consonant ᆱ). As part of the Hangul Syllables block, it is used in written Korean to form words when the individual jamo components are combined into a single encoded character, facilitating efficient digital text processing and display. This specific syllable is relatively rare in common usage, but its inclusion in Unicode ensures that all possible syllable combinations in the Korean script are representable and accessible across platforms and fonts.
