U+B9D4 "맔" Hangul Syllable Mals Unicode Character

U+B9D4 "맔" Hangul Syllable Mals is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, representing the sound "mals." It is formed from the initial consonant ㅁ (mieum), the vowel ㅏ (a), and the final consonant ㄹ (rieul), with a complex final consonant ㄼ (rieul-pieup) embedded within its composition, though the primary final is interpreted as "l" plus "s" to yield "mals." This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block, which encodes complete Korean syllable blocks as single code points for efficient text processing. As a specific linguistic unit, it is used in modern Korean to form words where the syllable "mals" appears, such as in the verb "말씀" (malsseum) meaning "speech" or "words," although "맔" itself is a rare or less standalone form in everyday usage.
