U+CA59 "쩙" Hangul Syllable Jjeolt Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
쩙
U+CA59 "쩙" Hangul Syllable Jjeolt is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, formed from the initial consonant ㅉ (a tense, double j), the vowel ㅓ (eo), and the final consonant cluster ㄾ (lt). It represents a single, tightly articulated Korean sound that is typically used in the Korean language to convey specific morphological or lexical meanings, though its frequency in everyday modern Korean text is relatively low compared to more common syllables. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character demonstrates how the writing system systematically encodes complex syllable blocks by combining individual jamo letters into a single codepoint for efficient text processing and display.
