U+BA66 "멦" Hangul Syllable Mebs Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
멦
U+BA66 "멦" Hangul Syllable Mebs is a specific precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language. It represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㅁ" (mieum, sounding like "m"), the medial vowel "ㅔ" (e, sounding like "eh"), and the final consonant cluster "ㅄ" (bieup and siot, together pronounced as "ps" at the end of a syllable). As a precomposed form, this character exists in the Unicode standard to support the efficient digital representation of Korean text, ensuring that each distinct syllable block is encoded as a single codepoint rather than requiring a sequence of Jamo letters.
