What 뱀 means
It means “snake.” Baem is its romanization.
Korean folk traditions link snakes with danger and fear, but also regeneration, fertility, fortune, healing, and the zodiac. These are associations of the animal, not extra meanings of the noun.
How does 뱀 fit together in Hangul?
Three Hangul letters form one syllable block.
Hangul is the Korean writing system, devised because Chinese characters then used to write Korean did not fit its sounds well. Its creation is dated 1443; the explanatory book Hunminjeongeum Haerye followed in 1446. Typefaces can vary a block’s spacing and strokes without changing its letters.
