Unicode Version 17.0
쪯
U+CAAF "쪯" Hangul Syllable Jjyelh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "jjyelh" through a combination of the initial consonant jj, the medial vowel ye, and the final consonant lh. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes complete syllables as single code points rather than individually composing them from jamo (the building blocks of Hangul). As a relatively rare and less commonly used syllable in contemporary Korean, "쪯" primarily appears in specialized linguistic contexts or historical texts, demonstrating the systematic and rule-based nature of the Hangul script where complex consonant clusters and vowel combinations are fully supported.
