U+1160 "ᅠ" Hangul Jungseong Filler Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1160 "ᅠ" Hangul Jungseong Filler is a special invisible placeholder used in the Korean writing system to indicate an empty medial vowel position within a Hangul syllable block. Its primary function is to maintain the structural integrity and consistent width of a syllable when a consonant occupies the initial (choseong) or final (jongseong) position but no actual vowel character is present. This filler allows text rendering systems to align and display incomplete or precomposed Hangul syllables properly, and it is distinct from a space character because it occupies a specific orthographic slot.
