맕
U+B9D5 "맕" Hangul Syllable Malt is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "malt." It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean initial consonants, vowels, and final consonants in a single character. "맕" is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅁ (m), the vowel ㅏ (a), and the final consonant ㄹㅌ (lt), meaning it is a syllable that does not commonly appear in standard modern Korean vocabulary but is technically valid for phonetic transcription or orthographic completeness. This character is used in digital text representation, allowing for precise rendering of Korean script in computing without requiring dynamic composition.
