Unicode Version 17.0
믋
U+BBCB "믋" Hangul Syllable Meulb is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed by the initial consonant ㅁ (mieum), the medial vowel ㅡ (eu), and the final consonant cluster ㄺ (rieul-giyeok). It represents the phonetic value /mɯlb/ and is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which was designed to encode all possible combinations of Korean initial, medial, and final letters. While not among the most frequently used syllables in everyday Korean text, it occasionally appears in specialized or older vocabulary, demonstrating the systematic and modular nature of the Hangul script, where each syllable is built from distinct jamo components.
