Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+3182 "ㆂ" Hangul Letter Yesieung-Sios is a historic and obsolete consonant letter from the Korean Hangul writing system, specifically representing a digraph formed by combining the sounds of "yesieung" (a paleographic initial ㅇ) and "sios" (ㅅ). Used primarily in early forms of Hangul during the Joseon dynasty, it was designed to express a specific phonetic value in Middle Korean that is no longer present in the modern language. While it does not appear in contemporary Korean orthography, this character remains encoded in Unicode as part of the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block, serving as an important resource for historical and linguistic study of the Korean script's evolution.
