U+317B "" Hangul Letter Sios-Nieun is a composite jamo, or obsolete consonant cluster, from the Hangul writing system that represents a combination of the Sios (ㅅ) and Nieun (ㄴ) sounds. This character was historically used in Middle Korean to denote a specific initial or final consonant cluster sound, typically transcribed as a sequence of an "s" or "t" sound followed by an "n" sound in modern phonetic terms. Unlike many modern Hangul letters, ㅻ is no longer used in contemporary Korean writing, as the language's phonology evolved and such clusters were simplified or dropped. As a result, it is primarily of interest to historical linguists, scholars of Korean language evolution, or those working with ancient or medieval Korean texts, and it is encoded in Unicode to support accurate digital representation of these historical documents.
