Unicode Version 17.0
뫻
U+BAFB "뫻" Hangul Syllable Mwaeh is a single precomposed Hangul syllable representing the Korean sound "mwaeh", which is composed of the initial consonant ㅁ (mieum), the medial vowel ㅙ (wae), and the final consonant ㅎ (hieut). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, introduced to codify modern Korean text digitally by combining individual jamo into a single glyph. It is used in written Korean to represent words or syllables with that specific phonetic combination, though it is relatively rare in everyday vocabulary compared to more common syllables. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent representation across platforms and devices for the Korean writing system.
