Unicode Version 17.0
쩡
U+CA61 "쩡" Hangul Syllable Jjeong is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "jjeong." It is formed from the initial consonant "ㅉ" (a tense, fortis version of the affricate "j") and the medial vowel "ㅓ" (eo), combined with the final consonant "ㅇ" (ng), which acts as a silent placeholder in initial position but is realized as the velar nasal [ŋ] when it appears as a final consonant. This syllable is used in the Korean language to write words and morphemes, often appearing in contexts such as the compound word "쩡쩡" (jjeongjjeong), which can describe a taut or resilient state like something stretched tight.
