What ㆇ means
It joins vowel forms into one syllable position.
The Hunminjeongeum links the Hangul vowel forms ㅛ (yo) and ㅑ (ya) through their shared ㅣ (i) element, forming one medial—the vowel position inside a syllable.
The Academy of Korean Studies’ encyclopedia, a history reference, lists ㆇ among medials considered possible but unused. Research on government publications calls its removal a spelling reform in the 15th century. It records a design possibility, not an established spelling.
