Hangul syllable melg

By itself, it has no fixed meaning.

멝 joins ㅁ (initial consonant), ㅔ (vowel), and ㄹㄱ as its batchim, the final consonant cluster. Its reading and meaning depend on the Korean word around it.

Hangul's documented history begins in 1443. The Hunminjeongeum, a guide published in 1446, explains its letters and syllable structure. Before Hangul, Korean was written with Chinese characters or in systems that adapted them to Korean, including Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal. Hangul was created to make Korean writing more accessible; it spread through daily, religious, administrative, and literary writing and became the official national writing system in 1894. As of 2026, no standalone word or chat reading is established for this exact block.

How do I type 멝?

Use Korean mode and type ㅁ, ㅔ, ㄹ, then ㄱ.

On the standard two-set Korean keyboard, the QWERTY keys are A-P-F-R. The Korean input method first forms 멜 from the first three letters, then adds ㄱ to make the final ㄹㄱ cluster and produce 멝.

On a phone, select Korean input first; 10-key and swipe layouts use different taps.

Why does 멝 look different in fonts?

Fonts can change its outline, not its identity.

Unicode can store 멝 as one precomposed block or as three joining Hangul letters: ᄆ + ᅦ + ᆰ. Unicode treats these as the same character. A font positions the letters into a block, so outlines can vary; a blank or boxed glyph may mean the font lacks Hangul support.
