hangul syllable moess

Hangul syllable moess

3857/11172

묐 is a Korean text character: one Hangul syllable block assembled from ㅁ, ㅚ, and ㅆ. The name “moess” describes that letter sequence, not a translation. Read it with the surrounding Korean word or phrase; a Korean IME can build it from those jamo.

Text symbol

What 묐 means

묐 is one Korean syllable block, not a translation. It combines three Korean letters, called jamo: ㅁ, ㅚ, and ㅆ. “Moess” describes that spelling; it is not an English gloss. Read the block as part of its Korean word or phrase.

A Hangul block combines an initial consonant, a vowel, and sometimes a final consonant. In 묐, those parts are arranged in that order.

Where did Hangul's syllable blocks come from?

They come from Hangul's system of combining Korean letters into syllable blocks. A 1443 entry in Sejong Sillok, the chronicle of King Sejong's reign, records the script. Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining its purpose and principles, was published in 1446.

Chinese-character writing did not map neatly onto Korean speech. Before Hangul, Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal adapted Chinese characters to write Korean; they are earlier approaches to that writing challenge, not other forms of 묐.

Hangul gained official status in 1894, lost it in 1910, and later returned to public use through research and education. The current spelling system follows a 1933 proposal.

How do I type 묐 with a Korean keyboard?

Use a Korean IME and enter the jamo in order. A Korean input method composes ㅁ ㅚ ㅆ into one block. On the KS X 5002 2-set QWERTY layout, press a, then h l for ㅚ, then Shiftt for ㅆ.

Some editors can compose 묐 and normalize it to 묐 in NFC, Unicode's composed normalization form.

Why does 묐 look different in different fonts?

It can. Fonts may change the placement and shape of the jamo while the underlying text character stays 묐; compare the text value, not only its silhouette.
