Unicode Version 17.0
멝
U+BA5D "멝" Hangul Syllable Melg is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system of the Korean language, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅁ" (mieum), the medial vowel "ㅔ" (e), and the final consonant "ㄺ" (rieul-giyeok) to represent the phonetic value of "melg." As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character encodes a single, closed syllable that, while grammatically valid, is rarely used in contemporary Korean vocabulary, appearing more frequently in historical texts, linguistic studies, or as a theoretical construct within the systematic structure of Hangul syllabary.
