Hangul syllable mwes

It is a Hangul syllable block; “mwes” labels its spelling structure.

The label “mwes” comes from the initial ㅁ, vowel ㅞ, and final ㅅ; it identifies the block's components rather than translating it. As of 2026, this exact block has no established standalone Korean word meaning or social convention, so read it in the surrounding Korean text.

The dates 1443 and 1446 mark Hangul's introduction under King Sejong and the publication, respectively, of 훈민정음, a guide explaining the script. Hangul offered a more accessible way to write Korean than the Chinese-character system then used for official writing. 뭿 is one possible combination in that script, not a separately invented sign.

How do I type 뭿?

In a Korean IME, enter ㅁ, then ㅞ, then ㅅ.

A Korean input method editor (IME) assembles those components as initial consonant, vowel, then final consonant; the physical keys depend on your keyboard layout.

The same syllable can also be written with separate conjoining jamo (Hangul components): 뭿. Some software leaves the pieces separate until an input method or text process combines them. The same system can write older Korean syllables that do not have their own precomposed modern block.
