Unicode Version 17.0

U+BA47 "멇" Hangul Syllable Meolh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language. It represents the phonetic sound "meolh," which combines the initial consonant ㅁ (m), the vowel ㅓ (eo), and the final consonant cluster ㅀ (lh). This character is part of the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, which contains all possible combinations of Korean jamo letters arranged logically according to the standard writing order. It is used in written Korean to form words that require that specific syllabic sound, such as in certain verb stems or lexical items, and it appears in digital text as a single encoded unit rather than as separate jamo components.
