Hangul syllable Munj

묹 is a Hangul syllable block, not a word with a fixed meaning by itself. Its role is to record one Korean syllable.

Text symbol

What 묹 means

The full word supplies its meaning; this glyph is one syllable.

The letters in 묹 are consonant ㅁ, vowel ㅜ, and final cluster ㄵ. Unicode’s “Munj” labels the construction, not Korean pronunciation or meaning. A final cluster places two consonants at the block’s bottom.

King Sejong’s Joseon court developed Hangul. Hunminjeongeum, its original name, is recorded in 1443; an explanatory book appeared in 1446. Before Hangul, Idu, Hyangchal, and Gugyeol used Chinese characters to write Korean. The court later commissioned Hangul translations of Buddhist and Confucian texts. After 1945, North Korea promoted Hangul-only writing partly as a tool for social unity.
