Unicode Version 17.0
짉
U+C9C9 "짉" Hangul Syllable Jilg is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "jilg." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅈ" (jieut), the medial vowel "ㅣ" (i), and the final consonant cluster "ㄺ" (rieul-giyeok), which together produce a single syllabic block. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which was designed to encode all 11,172 possible syllables of standard Hangul, allowing for efficient text representation and processing in digital environments. As a relatively rare syllable, 짉 is used in specific Korean vocabulary where the final consonant cluster appears, contributing to the precise phonetic range of the language.
