U+CA6B "쩫" Hangul Syllable Jjegs Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+CA6B "쩫" Hangul Syllable Jjegs is a precomposed Korean syllable formed from the initial consonant "쩌" (a tensed and aspirated variant of "j"), the vowel "ㅔ" (e), and the final consonant cluster "ㄳ" (gs), resulting in the phonetic representation of the sound "jjegs" in modern Korean orthography. It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes complete syllable blocks as single code points rather than combining individual jamo characters. This character is part of the standard repertoire used for writing the Korean language, though it is relatively uncommon in everyday vocabulary, representing a specific, often rare or archaic, syllable that appears in some native Korean words or loanword transliterations.
