Hangul Syllable Ssolb

6116/11172

쏣 is one written Korean syllable; its meaning depends on the word around it. Unicode’s label “ssolb” is built from the names of its letter parts, not from a Korean word.

Text symbol

What 쏣 means

It spells one syllable, not a complete word.

The components of the Hangul syllable 쏣 are ㅆ (a doubled s consonant), ㅗ (the o vowel), and final ㄼ (ㄹ ㅂ).

The Korean alphabet Hangul was devised under King Sejong in 1443 to make Korean easier to write, since Chinese characters were a poor fit for its sounds and grammar. Hunminjeongeum, a guide explaining the new letters, appeared in 1446. Hangul became the official national writing system in 1894, lost official status after Japan annexed Korea in 1910, and spelling policies changed after liberation in 1945. A 2009 paper proposed that the Mongol Phags-pa script influenced some vowel designs. That debated proposal concerns design details, not Hangul’s documented Korean origin.

Can Unicode store Hangul syllables as jamo?

Yes. Unicode can represent a syllable as one block or as three separate Hangul letter units. Their character sequences differ, so exact text comparison can distinguish them; normalization converts equivalent text to a chosen form before matching.
