U+C960 "쥠" Hangul Syllable Jwim Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+C960 "쥠" Hangul Syllable Jwim is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅈ" (j), the medial vowel "ㅟ" (wi), and the final consonant "ㅁ" (m), which together produce the sound "jwim." This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllables formed from the Korean jamo (letters) in a single, ready-to-use code point for efficient text processing. While "쥠" itself is a valid and standard syllable in Korean, it is not a common or frequently used word in everyday language, appearing mainly in specific vocabulary or contexts such as older texts or specialized terms. The design of the character follows the traditional rectangular block shape of Hangul, with the initial and medial components combined at the top and the final consonant placed at the bottom, ensuring visual consistency with the rest of the syllabic system.
