What 멖 means
It marks one syllable; context supplies the word. The block combines three Hangul jamo (letters): ㅁ at the start, ㅔ as the vowel, and ㄲ at the end. Alone, 멖 is a syllable fragment, so its lexical meaning depends on the word it appears in.
Hangul was created to write Korean
Hangul's creation is recorded in 1443; the Hunminjeongeum, a royal text introducing the script, promulgated it in 1446. Its aim was to let people who could not read Classical Chinese, then a formal written language, write Korean and represent Korean sounds systematically.
After 1446, Hangul appeared in royal texts, translations, primers, religious and practical books, and literature. It emerged in a setting where Hanja (Chinese characters) served formal writing and Idu adapted those characters to represent Korean words and grammar.
Some scholarship compares Hangul's design with Phags-pa, a script used in the Mongol era. The comparison concerns the script's design; this syllable itself is composed from Hangul jamo.
By itself, 멖 reads as a spelling fragment rather than a complete message.
멖 and 멕 differ at the ending: ㄲ versus ㄱ.

Questions people ask
1Does final ㄲ sound like two k sounds?
No. At the end of a Korean syllable, ㄲ is pronounced as one clipped k sound, not two separate consonants.
