U+BA4E "멎" Hangul Syllable Meoj Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
멎
U+BA4E "멎" Hangul Syllable Meoj is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant ㅁ (mieum), the medial vowel ㅓ (eo), and the final consonant ㅈ (jieut). This character represents the phonetic sound "meoj" and is used in Korean text for words or morphological forms where that specific syllable appears, such as in the verb stem “멎다” meaning "to stop" or "to cease." As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it allows for efficient digital representation of Korean without requiring dynamic composition of individual jamo characters.
