므
U+BBC0 "므" Hangul Syllable Meu is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "meu." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅁ (mieum, representing the "m" sound) with the medial vowel ㅡ (eu, a high back unrounded vowel). This syllable is part of the vast Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations of Korean jamo characters, enabling efficient text processing and display for the Korean language. Typically used in words like 므흐다 (meuheuda, meaning "to be damp or humid"), it illustrates how Hangul systematically represents spoken Korean through its alphabetic and syllabic structure.
