U+CBB9 "쮹" Hangul Syllable Jjyug Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+CBB9 "쮹" Hangul Syllable Jjyug is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "jjyug" (pronounced similarly to "jjyoog"). It is formed by combining the initial consonant 지읒 (jieut, representing a tense "jj" sound), the medial vowel 유 (yu, a "yoo" sound), and the final consonant 기역 (giyeok, representing a "g" or "k" sound). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is used in written Korean for words that require this specific phonetic combination, such as in the verb 쮸다 (jjjuda, meaning "to cram" or "to stuff"), and is distinct from its non-tense counterpart 줙 (juk) due to the tensed initial consonant.
