Unicode Version 17.0
쩔
U+CA54 "쩔" Hangul Syllable Jjeol is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed from the initial consonant “ㅉ” (a tense “j” sound), the medial vowel “ㅓ” (eo), and the final consonant “ㄹ” (l). This specific syllable, pronounced roughly as “jjeol,” is used in standard Korean vocabulary and can appear in words like “쩔다” (to be extremely good or impressive in slang) or as part of compound terms. As part of the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, it supports the efficient digital representation of Korean text by encoding full syllables rather than requiring individual jamo combinations, which is essential for accurate rendering in modern computing environments.
