Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+D79C "힜" Hangul Syllable Hiss is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant “ㅎ” (h), the vowel “ㅣ” (i), and the final consonant “ㅆ” (ss), which together produce the sound "hiss." It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations of Korean jamo characters in a single code point for efficient text processing. This specific syllable is rarely used in everyday Korean vocabulary, as the final double consonant “ㅆ” is uncommon in native words, but it demonstrates the systematic and modular nature of the Hangul writing system, where individual letters are combined to form complete syllabic blocks.
