U+BA61 "멡" Hangul Syllable Melt Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
멡
U+BA61 "멡" Hangul Syllable Melt is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, representing the Korean sound "melt" as a single character. It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㅁ" (mieum), the vowel "ㅔ" (e), and the final consonant "ㄾ" (rieul thieut), following the standard Korean writing system of stacking jamo in a syllabic block. This character is included in the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, which encodes all possible combinations of lead, vowel, and tail jamo as distinct precomposed units. While "멡" is a valid orthographic form, it is not a common word in modern Korean vocabulary and is used primarily for phonetic transcription or in linguistic contexts where precise sound representation is needed.
