U+CAD1 "쫑" Hangul Syllable Jjong Unicode Character
U+CAD1 "쫑" Hangul Syllable Jjong is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul script, representing the sound "jjong" as a combination of the initial consonant "jj" (a tensed "j") and the vowel "o" followed by the final consonant "ng". This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic blocks formed by combining Korean jamo letters. It is used in modern Korean writing, often appearing in informal or expressive contexts such as onomatopoeia, slang, or names, but it is less common than other syllables in standard vocabulary. The character's visual appearance consists of the three jamo components stacked from top to bottom: a large initial consonant, a middle vowel, and a final consonant, all rendered as a single square block.
