U+C8D4 "죔" Hangul Syllable Joem is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system, representing the Korean sound "joem." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅈ (j), the medial vowel ㅚ (oe), and the final consonant ㅁ (m), though in standard contemporary Korean, the syllable is most commonly encountered as a rare or archaic form, with its modern equivalent often being "좀" (jom) in many contexts.
