hangul syllable mum

Hangul syllable mum

3909/11172

The meaning of 뭄 depends on context: by itself, it has no single general meaning in standard Korean. It appears inside standard Korean words such as 가뭄 (“drought”) and in the Korean spelling 뭄바이 for Mumbai. As of 2026-09-08, a dictionary also lists it as a South Chungcheong Province dialect form of 머슴 (“farmhand”).

Text symbol

What 뭄 means

Two ㅁ consonants frame the vowel ㅜ.

Hangul, the Korean writing system, groups the letters for each spoken syllable into a compact block. King Sejong created it in 1443 as an easier-to-learn alternative to the Chinese-character-based writing then in use; its original name, 훈민정음, means “proper sounds to instruct the people.”

Why does 뭄 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
