U+CA58 "쩘" Hangul Syllable Jjeols Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
쩘
U+CA58 "쩘" Hangul Syllable Jjeols is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the phonetic sound "jjeols." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "쩌" (a tensed version of "j") with the vowel "ㅓ" (eo) and the final consonant cluster "ㄹㅅ" (ls), though in practice the final cluster is realized as a single "ㄹ" sound before certain consonants. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllables of the Korean alphabet in a single contiguous range, allowing efficient text processing for the Korean language. Its usage is relatively rare in contemporary Korean vocabulary but may appear in specific dialects, archaic terms, or phonetic transcriptions.
