U+CDF2 "췲" Hangul Syllable Cwilm Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+CDF2 "췲" Hangul Syllable Cwilm is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the sound value /tɕʰwil.m/ or approximately "chwilm" in English transliteration. It is formed by combining the initial consonant ‘ㅊ’ (chieut), the medial vowel ‘ㅟ’ (wi), and the final consonant ‘ㄻ’ (rieul-mieum), which together create a single, self-contained character in the Hangul Syllables block of Unicode. This block encodes all 11,172 possible two or three part combinations of Korean consonants and vowels in a systematic order, allowing efficient text processing and representation of Standard Korean orthography without requiring separate rendering of jamo components. As a result, U+CDF2 is used in written Korean to denote a specific syllable in words or names, consistent with the South Korean standard KS X 1001 character set.
