How is 염 represented?

As one block or as a sequence of Hangul letters.

The block joins ㅇ, ㅕ and ㅁ, the Hangul letters called jamo. Unicode normalization can represent the syllable as that jamo sequence instead, without changing its displayed text.

Hangul was created under King Sejong; its creation was first recorded in 1443. Originally called 훈민정음, it was designed for Korean speech; an explanatory book of that name appeared in 1446.
