What 엃 means
It is a syllable block, not a standalone Korean word.
Hangul was devised in 1443 because Chinese characters were a poor fit for Korean speech. A book explaining the system appeared in 1446. Early Buddhist and Confucian prints used Hangul; it later spread to everyday and official writing.
