U+CC46 "챆" Hangul Syllable Caegg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
챆
U+CC46 "챆" Hangul Syllable Caegg is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul script used for writing the Korean language, representing the phonetic value of "caegg." It is formed from the initial consonant ㅊ (chieut), the medial vowel ㅐ (ae), and the final consonants ㄳ (giyeok siot), which together produce a syllable block unique to the Korean writing system. As part of the Hangul Syllables block, it was encoded in Unicode 2.0 in 1996 to support the efficient representation of the thousands of possible syllable combinations in Hangul. This character is used in Korean text for specific words or contexts where the sound "caegg" occurs, though it is relatively rare compared to more common syllables.
