Hangul syllable 쓌

It is a Hangul syllable, not a standalone word.

The block starts with consonant ㅆ, has the vowel ㅟ, and ends with consonant ㅆ. Those Korean jamo, or letters, form one syllable; in a word, the surrounding Korean supplies its meaning. Unicode’s label “SSWISS” identifies the parts, not an English word or a pronunciation guide.

How do I type 쓌?

Use a Korean two-set keyboard in consonant–vowel–final order.

Enter initial ㅆ, form ㅟ by typing ㅜ then ㅣ, and finish with ㅆ. On the standard two-set layout, type ㅆ with Shift + ㅅ.

Some tools show the decomposed sequence 쓌 instead of one block. Unicode defines both composed and decomposed Hangul forms, so they represent the same syllable.

Was 쓌 an old Korean symbol?

As of September 2026, 쓌 has no separate documented history.

Hangul’s first documentary record dates to 1443, and a book explaining the writing system appeared in 1446. It was created to write Korean speech directly, at a time when Korean writing relied on Chinese characters and adaptations of them.

Earlier, Korean writers adapted Chinese characters in systems such as idu and hyangchal to write Korean, including for administration and ritual poetry. Early Hangul appeared in translations into everyday Korean, poetry, novels, and popular religious writing, while Classical Chinese remained the elite written language.
