What ᆻ means
Use Unicode input for ᆻ; ShiftT gives the related ㅆ.
On the standard South Korean two-set keyboard in 2026, ShiftT enters ㅆ. The input method editor (IME) uses it while composing a syllable; it does not produce ᆻ as an isolated final jamo.
What is ᆻ?
It is doubled sios in the final slot of a Hangul syllable.
Hangul syllables have an opening consonant and vowel, with an optional closing consonant. ᆻ is a jongseong, or final jamo; Korean also calls this closing consonant batchim. It is a spelling element, not a word by itself.
The 1446 Hangul guide Hunminjeongeum describes doubled consonants as a base consonant written twice. Hangul gave Korean speech a script designed for it, rather than relying solely on Chinese characters; ᆻ is the final-position form of that doubled-sios design. At a syllable end, its sound is a short, closed t-like stop, while the spelling preserves the doubled-sios distinction.
A lone ᆻ depends on shaping
An isolated final jamo has no opening-consonant-and-vowel block around it, so it may look detached. In 2026, font and application support for Hangul shaping affects how that fragment appears.
Hangul also uses filler jamo—placeholders for missing syllable parts—to display incomplete blocks. The filler changes the display; ᆻ remains a final jamo.
