U+B9EB "맫" Hangul Syllable Maed is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant ㅁ (mieum, equivalent to "m"), the medial vowel ㅐ (ae, pronounced like the "a" in "cat"), and the final consonant ㄷ (digeut, equivalent to "d"). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is used in written Korean to form words or morphemes, though its actual occurrence in standard Korean vocabulary is rare. The syllable 맫 does not commonly appear in everyday Korean text but demonstrates how Unicode efficiently encodes complex syllabic blocks by assigning a single codepoint to each legal Hangul syllable.
