U+BB44 "뭄" Hangul Syllable Mum Unicode Character
U+BB44 "뭄" Hangul Syllable Mum is a precomposed syllabic block in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic syllable "mum" formed by the consonant ㅁ (mieum, sounding like 'm') and the vowel ㅜ (u, sounding like 'oo') combined with the final consonant ㅁ (mieum) as the batchim. This character is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the block "Hangul Syllables" and is used to write Korean words, such as the word for a "body" or "substance" (몸, spelled differently as mom, not 뭄) or less commonly in vocabulary where the vowel 'u' precedes a final 'm' sound. As with all Hangul syllables, its display requires appropriate font support for proper rendering of the distinct vertical and horizontal strokes that compose the jamo components.
