U+A973 "ꥳ" Hangul Choseong Pieup-Khieukh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+A973 "ꥳ" Hangul Choseong Pieup-Khieukh is a typographic glyph used in the Old Hangul script to represent a consonant cluster that combines the sounds of a bilabial stop (pieup, similar to 'p') and an aspirated velar stop (khieukh, similar to 'k') as the initial consonant of a syllable. This character belongs to the Hangul Jamo Extended-A block, which encodes historical or rare jamo (letters) not present in modern standard Hangul. It was added to the Unicode Standard to support the accurate digital representation of Middle Korean and other historical Korean texts, where such complex initial consonant clusters were common.
