U+BB34 "무" Hangul Syllable Mu Unicode Character
U+BB34 "무" Hangul Syllable Mu is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul script, representing the sound "mu." It is formed by combining the consonant ㅁ (mieum) with the vowel ㅜ (u), and it carries the lexical meaning of "nothing" or "not" when used as the Sino-Korean morpheme 無, though it also appears in native Korean words like "무" (radish) or "무거워" (heavy). This syllable is encoded as a single character in the Unicode Hangul Syllables block (AC00–D7AF), which was added in version 2.0 to efficiently support the modern Korean writing system by providing all 11,172 possible combinations of initial consonants, vowels, and final consonants. The character "무" is widely used in Korean text, appearing in both formal and informal contexts, from literature to digital communication.
