Hangul syllable Ssabs

It spells one syllable within Korean writing.

Hangul groups component letters, called jamo, into square syllable blocks. In 쌊, ㅆ is the initial consonant, ㅏ the vowel, and ㅄ the final consonant cluster. Those roles describe its spelling; Korean text supplies the word-level context.

Hangul was devised in 1443 and published in 1446 so Korean could be written without relying on Chinese characters. It became Korea's official national writing system in 1894, then lost that status in 1910.

Why does 쌊 look different in different fonts?

Font design changes the block's internal layout, not its character.

Hangul typefaces fit each syllable's consonants and vowel into a square module. The bottom consonant cluster may look tighter or more open from one font to another, while the encoded character remains 쌊.
