Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+3214 "" Parenthesized Hangul Sios A is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph that represents the Korean syllable "sa" enclosed within parentheses, combining the Hangul consonant "sios" (ㅅ) with the vowel "a" (ㅏ). This character is part of a larger set of parenthesized Hangul syllables, which were historically used in Korean computing and typography to provide compact, pre-composed forms for writing specific syllables in structured text such as legal documents, lists, or educational materials. While it belongs to the CJK Compatibility block, its use has largely been superseded by modern Unicode normalization and standard Hangul jamo composition, making it primarily a legacy representation that ensures backward compatibility with older character encodings.
