Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+CB3E "" Hangul Syllable Jjyobs is a specific precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script, used for writing the Korean language. It represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "jj" (a tense, double "j" sound similar to the "j" in "juggle" but pronounced with a tighter throat) and the final consonant "bs" (which sounds like a double "b" or a tensed "p" at the end of a syllable). From a structural standpoint, this character encodes the entire syllable as a single digital code point rather than requiring separate codes for the individual consonants and vowels, making it belong to the block of thousands of precomposed Hangul syllables that facilitate efficient text processing in Unicode. Notably, this syllable is rare in modern Korean vocabulary and is used in very few words, often appearing in historical texts, dialect transcriptions, or in the onomatopoeic expression "쬽쬽쫍쬾" which describes a specific chewing sound.
