Unicode Version 17.0

U+C996 "즖" Hangul Syllable Jeulp is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅈ" (jieut), the medial vowel "ㅡ" (eu), and the final consonant cluster "ㄼ" (rieul-bieup), which together produce the sound "jeulp." This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations of the Korean alphabet using a standardized system of initial, medial, and final jamo elements.
