U+A979 "ꥹ" Hangul Choseong Ssangthieuth is an archaic or obsolete initial consonant used in the historical writing of the Korean language, specifically representing a doubled or tense version of the "thieuth" sound, similar to a aspirated or fortis dental plosive. This character belongs to the Hangul Jamo Extended-A block and is primarily of interest to linguists, historians, and typographers studying the evolution of the Korean writing system, as it no longer appears in modern Hangul usage. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures the digital preservation of rare phonetic distinctions found in early Korean texts.
