Bansiot

Bansiot (letter: ㅿ; name: 반시옷), sometimes called samgakhyeong (삼각형; lit. 'triangle'), is an archaic consonant letter of the Korean alphabet, Hangul. In Unicode, its name is spelled pansios, following the ISO/TR 11941 romanization system. Its sound value is disputed, but most scholars believe it to have been the voiced alveolar fricative [z] in Middle Korean. It fell out of use around the late 16th century, as its corresponding phoneme disappeared from the language.
