What 메 means
The Korean word around it decides.
메 can name rice offered at ancestral rites; a 1510 text records it as 뫼. As of 2026, its mountain sense is archaic but remains in 멧돼지 (“wild boar”).
Why does 메 appear as one block?
Hangul groups letters into syllable blocks.
Hangul began in 1443; a 1446 text explained its design. Designers studied Chinese speech-sound analysis and the Phags-pa script, another writing system. 메 combines Hangul letters; it is not a borrowed Chinese character.

1Can identical-looking 메 forms compare differently?
Yes. Unicode may store one syllable or component Korean letters (jamo). They can look alike but differ as text; normalization converts them to a consistent form.
