hangul syllable meult

Hangul syllable 믍

4046/11172

믍 is a Hangul syllable block made from ㅁ, ㅡ, and the final consonant cluster ㄾ. It is a Korean spelling unit; “meult” labels its composition in Unicode rather than translating it into English.

Text symbol

What 믍 means

It spells a Korean syllable; its name is not a translation. 믍 combines the initial consonant ㅁ, vowel ㅡ, and final consonant cluster ㄾ. These component letters are called jamo. Unicode also represents the parts separately as ᄆ, ᅳ, and ᆴ. The Unicode syllable name uses “meult” to label this combination, not to give it an English meaning.

Hangul's letters were devised under King Sejong in 1443 and introduced in 1446 through Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the script. Its letters combine into syllable blocks, letting people write Korean without adapting Chinese characters as earlier methods such as idu and hyangchal did. Those are historical Korean writing practices, not components or visual ancestors of 믍. Over time Hangul became the main script for Korean writing. South Korea usually calls it Hangul; North Korean contexts use Choseongul.

how to type 믍?

Switch to a Korean 2-set (Dubeolsik) input method.

Enter a, m, f, x in that order: on Dubeolsik, a gives ㅁ, m gives ㅡ, and fx forms the final cluster ㄾ. A Korean IME (input method editor) joins the parts into one block; a different order can produce another syllable. In JSON or JavaScript, write the Unicode escape \uBBCD.

why can two fonts make 믍 look different?

They can. Fonts choose the shapes, sizes, and placement of the component jamo inside the block, so its strokes may shift while the Hangul syllable remains the same.
