Hangul Syllable Mwilh

It is a Hangul syllable block made from three jamo.

Initial ㅁ, vowel ㅟ, and final ㅀ make up its structure. These component letters are called jamo; ㅀ fills the ending position inside the same block. The spelling identifies a syllable, while the Korean word around it supplies the meaning.

When did Hangul become a writing system?

The script is recorded in 1443 and explained in 1446.

The Sejong Sillok, the annals of King Sejong, records Hunminjeongeum in 1443; a 1446 explanatory book sets out the script’s purpose, sound rules, and initial, medial, and final positions. It was made to write Korean directly; its preface contrasts Korean speech with Chinese.

The script’s names also changed. Early names included jeongeum, eonmun, and banjeol; after the 1894 Gabo Reform, gukmun and gukseo became common. Records from the 1910s use Hangeul, a name widely used by 1928. Unicode 16.0.0 distinguishes Hangul in South Korea, Choseongul in North Korea, and Jeongum as a neutral name. The same edition notes Hanja—Chinese characters—alongside Hangul in South Korean writing; this block itself is built from Hangul jamo.

Why does 뮗 look split or missing?

It is one syllable, but fonts control how its parts display.

The Unicode Standard’s 16.0.0 rendering note says Hangul syllable placement, shape, and size vary by font. The same spelling can be represented by the conjoining-jamo sequence 뮗; text-shaping software may join those parts into 뮗, while a font without the needed glyph can show a box.
