Unicode Version 17.0
쫫
U+CAEB "쫫" Hangul Syllable Jjwas is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the sound "jjwas." It is formed from the initial consonant 지어쌍 (쌍지읒, a doubled "j" sound), the vowel ㅘ (wa), and the final consonant ㅅ (s), combining to create a single, closed syllable block. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which systematically encodes all possible syllable combinations in the Korean writing system, and while it is a valid and defined character, it is considered rare in contemporary Korean vocabulary, appearing mostly in specialized or historical contexts.
