Unicode Version 17.0

U+BB11 "묑" Hangul Syllable Moeng is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, used in the Korean language to represent a specific phonetic combination. It is formed from the initial consonant ㅁ (mieum), the medial vowel ㅚ (oe, a single rounded vowel sound) and the final consonant ㅇ (ieung, which in this syllable position represents the velar nasal sound /ŋ/), resulting in the Modern Korean pronunciation close to [møŋ] or [mweŋ]. As a precomposed character, it was included in the Hangul Syllables block of Unicode to facilitate efficient text processing and display for written Korean, though it is relatively rare in modern usage compared to more common syllables.
