What 멢 means
By itself, it has no reliable translation. Hangul builds syllable blocks from jamo, its consonant and vowel letters: 멢 decomposes into initial ᄆ, vowel ᅦ and final cluster ᆵ. That structure does not identify the Korean word it belongs to; ask for the surrounding word or sentence before translating it.
Hangul was developed as an alphabet for writing Korean directly, rather than relying on Chinese characters. The National Hangeul Museum dates the first mention of Hunminjeongeum, the name associated with the new script and its explanatory book, to 1443; the book appeared in 1446. 멢 follows Hangul’s regular syllable-building rule, so those dates describe the writing system, not this individual syllable.
How do I type 멢 as one Hangul syllable?
With a Korean input method, type ㅁ, then ㅔ, ㄹ and ㅍ. It combines the last two consonant keystrokes into the final cluster and forms one block.
Neutral as written text; its role and tone come from the Korean word and sentence around it.
A lone 멢 is not enough to translate; ask for the Korean word or sentence.

1Why does 멢 show as a box or loose pieces?
It is a font display issue. A 2001 Mozilla report recorded Korean fonts that lacked some precomposed syllables and fell back to jamo or a box. A font with broad Hangul coverage may render the block.
