U+BA50 "멐" Hangul Syllable Meok Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+BA50 "멐" Hangul Syllable Meok is a precomposed syllable from the Hangul writing system used for the Korean language, representing the phonetic sound "meok." Formed by combining the initial consonant ㅁ (mieum), the vowel ㅓ (eo), and the final consonant ㅋ (kieuk), it is part of the Hangul Syllables block (U+AC00 to U+D7AF) in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean letters in a single character. While 멐 itself is a valid Hangul syllable, it is not commonly used in modern Korean vocabulary, as it appears only in rare or archaic contexts rather than in everyday words.
