Unicode Version 17.0
밞
U+BC1E "밞" Hangul Syllable Balm is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, representing the sound "balm." It is formed from the initial consonant ㅂ (b), the medial vowel ㅏ (a), and the final consonant cluster ㄻ (lm), which combines ㄹ (l) and ㅁ (m). In modern Korean, this syllable is rarely used on its own as a common word, but it can appear in specific contexts or as part of transliterations, such as in the word "밤" (bam, meaning night or chestnut) with an added "ㄹ" sound for phonetic precision. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that it can be correctly rendered and processed in digital text, supporting the comprehensive representation of the Korean writing system.
