Unicode Version 17.0
멅
U+BA45 "멅" Hangul Syllable Meolt is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic value "meolt." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅁ (mieum), the medial vowel ㅓ (eo), the final consonant cluster ㄼ (rieul-bieup), and the additional final consonant ㅌ (tieut), which together create its syllabic block. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean jamo letters into single code points for efficient text processing. While "멅" is a valid orthographic form, it is extremely rare in everyday Korean vocabulary and primarily functions to ensure comprehensive coverage of the writing system rather than appearing in common words.
