Unicode Version 17.0

U+C98F "즏" Hangul Syllable Jeud is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅈ" (jieut, representing a /d͡ʑ/ sound), the medial vowel "ㅡ" (eu, a close back unrounded vowel), and the final consonant "ㅂ" (bieup, representing a /p/ or /b/ sound). As part of the Hangul Syllables block, this character is used to represent a specific phonetic unit in Korean, though it is relatively rare in everyday vocabulary compared to more common syllables.
