Unicode Version 17.0
증
U+C99D "증" Hangul Syllable Jeung is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "jeung" as a combination of the initial consonant ㅈ (j), the medial vowel ㅡ (eu), and the final consonant ㅇ (ng). It is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations of the Korean alphabet, and it is widely used in Korean language text for words such as "증가" (increase) or "증거" (evidence). This character allows for efficient digital representation of Korean by providing a single code point for the entire syllable, rather than requiring individual jamo components to be combined in rendering.
