U+BB16 "묖" Hangul Syllable Moep Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
묖
U+BB16 "묖" Hangul Syllable Moep is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed from the initial consonant ㅁ (mieum), the medial vowel ㅚ (oe), and the final consonant ㅍ (pieup). In standard Korean phonology, this syllable does not correspond to a common native Korean word and is typically encountered only in specialized or technical contexts, such as in historical or linguistic transcriptions. Its existence in Unicode ensures that all possible phonetically valid Hangul combinations, even rare ones, are electronically representable, maintaining the script’s complete digital coverage.
