Hangul syllable 멡

Its parts are ㅁ, ㅔ, and ㄾ. Jamo are Hangul's component letters: ㅁ starts the block, ㅔ is its vowel, and ㄾ is a two-consonant double final. Unicode's English name, HANGUL SYLLABLE MELT, mechanically spells out those parts; it does not mean “melt” or translate a Korean word.

Hangul was created under King Sejong in 1443. The 1446 Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining the system's design, described a writing method made for Korean and intended to be easier to learn than Chinese characters and Korean adaptations of them, including Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal.

Early Hangul publications included Buddhist scriptures; later, Confucian scriptures were translated into it, and it remains in use for Korean. A double final is two consonant letters in the end position of one block; Korean spellings such as 핥다 and 훑소 show ㄾ there.

What does 멡 mean when someone sends it?

A lone syllable does not reveal the sender's intended message. As of 2026-09-13, 멡 has no established standalone Korean word or chat-reaction meaning. In a spelling lesson or font test, it can simply be a sample of the block or its ㄾ final; if it arrives alone, ask what the sender meant.
