U+C997 "즗" Hangul Syllable Jeulh Unicode Character
U+C997 "즗" Hangul Syllable Jeulh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language, representing the phonetic combination of the initials "ㅈ" (jieut) and the medial vowel "ㅡ" (eu), followed by the final consonant "ㅀ" (rieul-hieut). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it is formed by standard Korean orthographic rules, where individual jamo characters are combined into a single encoded unit for efficient text processing and display. This specific syllable is relatively uncommon in everyday Korean vocabulary, typically appearing in specialized or historical contexts, and its pronunciation involves a tense initial "j" sound, a central unrounded vowel, and a final double consonant cluster resulting in a pronounced "l" with a subsequent aspiration or glottal stop effect.
