U+A977 "" Hangul Choseong Ieung-Hieuh is a character used in the Old Hangul block of the Unicode standard, representing an archaic or historical consonant cluster that was once utilized in the Korean writing system. Specifically, it encodes the initial sound (choseong) combining the consonant "ieung" (which is silent or represents a glottal stop) and "hieuh" (the aspirated 'h' sound), forming a digraph that appears in early Korean texts but is not used in modern Hangul. This character is part of a set of composite jamo designed to preserve the orthography of Middle Korean, allowing scholars and linguists to accurately represent and study historical Hangul manuscripts without relying on modern approximations.
