Unicode Version 17.0
밍
U+BC0D "밍" Hangul Syllable Ming is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic value "ming." It is formed by combining the initial consonant ㅁ (mieum, sounding like the English "m"), the medial vowel ㅣ (i, sounding like the "ee" in "see"), and the final consonant ㅇ (ieung, which here acts as a final velar nasal "ng"). This syllable appears in various Korean words and names, such as the common given name 민영 (Mingyeong) or in loanwords, and its single codepoint in Unicode simplifies digital text processing by eliminating the need to store it as a sequence of separate jamo characters.
