Unicode Version 17.0
멙
U+BA59 "멙" Hangul Syllable Menj is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅁ" (m), the medial vowel "ㅔ" (e), and the final consonant "ㄵ" (nj), which is a compound coda made from "ㄴ" and "ㅈ". Found in the Hangul Syllables block of Unicode, this character encodes the sound "menj" as a single codepoint rather than as separate jamo letters, facilitating efficient text processing for the Korean writing system. It is a valid, though relatively uncommon, syllable in modern Korean, occasionally appearing in transliterations, technical terminology, or in writing that covers the full range of Hangul combinations.
