U+BAB0 "몰" Hangul Syllable Mol Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+BAB0 "몰" Hangul Syllable Mol is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing the Korean sound "mol," formed by combining the initial consonant ㅁ (mieum), the medial vowel ㅗ (o), and the final consonant ㄹ (rieul). As part of the Hangul Syllables block, which encodes modern Korean syllables in a systematic order, this character is used in written Korean to form words such as "몰다" (molda, meaning to drive or herd) or "몰래" (mollae, meaning secretly). It is encoded as a single Unicode code point rather than a sequence of individual jamo characters, enabling efficient text processing in Korean digital environments.
