Unicode Version 17.0
뮈
U+BB88 "뮈" Hangul Syllable Mwi is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system Hangul, representing the sound "mwi." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅁ (mieum, sounding like "m") with the vertical vowel ㅟ (wi), which itself is a compound vowel from ㅜ (u) and ㅣ (i), resulting in a syllable that is rarely used in contemporary standard Korean but can appear in archaic or dialectal words or transcriptions of foreign terms. This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block of Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of initial consonants, medial vowels, and optional final consonants into individual code points for efficient digital text processing.
