Unicode Version 17.0

U+CB59 "쭙" Hangul Syllable Jjub is a precomposed syllable in the Korean writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant 'ㅉ' (a tense, doubled 'j' sound), the medial vowel 'ㅜ' (the 'oo' sound as in "moon"), and the final consonant 'ㅂ' (a 'b' or 'p' sound). This syllable is part of the modern Hangul block in Unicode and represents a valid, though rare, phonetic combination in Korean, primarily used in specific contexts such as dialectal speech, technical terms, or onomatopoeic words like the sound of a sudden, sticky plop.
