Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+A97B "ꥻ" Hangul Choseong Hieuh-Sios is a typographic element from the Hangul Jamo Extended-A block, used in the Korean writing system to represent a compound initial consonant cluster. Specifically, it combines the sounds of the "hieuh" (ㅎ) and "sios" (ㅅ) consonants into a single syllable-initial character, which was historically employed to denote specific phonetic variations in the Korean language, particularly in older or more specialized orthographic contexts. This character is therefore an important part of preserving the precise representation of archaic or dialectal Korean pronunciation, though it is not commonly used in modern standard Hangul writing.
