U+114C "ᅌ" Hangul Choseong Yesieung Unicode Character

U+114C "ᅌ" Hangul Choseong Yesieung is a rare and archaic consonant used in the Old Korean writing system for the initial syllable sound, representing a voiced velar nasal or a glottal stop-like consonant that has largely disappeared from modern Hangul. It is a component of the initial (choseong) set, specifically called "yesieung," and is distinct from the more common "ᅌ" also known as "꼭지이응" (ggokji ieung), which is used in final position. This character appears in historical texts and is significant for linguistic reconstruction, as it helps scholars study the phonetic development of Korean and the evolution of its alphabet, which was created in the 15th century.
