What ᄜ means
It combines mieum and pieup into one syllable initial.
Old Hangul is the earlier form of the Korean writing system. A choseong, or initial, is the consonant part at the start of a written syllable; jamo are the letter components assembled with vowels into Hangul blocks. Mieum (ᄆ) and pieup (ᄇ) are the Korean letter names for the m and p consonants.
Hangeul was devised under King Sejong in fifteenth-century Joseon, a Korean kingdom, to write Korean speech. The first record of the system dates to 1443; the Hunminjeongeum Haerye, an explanatory book about the script, was published in 1446. It describes syllables as initial, middle, and final parts and permits two- and three-letter initial clusters.
How do I type ᄜ?
Use a specialist Old Hangul input method.
Enter ᄜ as one conjoining initial, then add a vowel and, if needed, a final consonant to build a syllable.
Jamo can change shape, size, and position with the surrounding parts and font. A different drawing does not by itself mean a different Unicode character.
Expect a historical or technical setting: ᄜ marks an Old Hangul initial or a test string.
Do not substitute spacing form ㅮ when the initial must join a syllable.

1Why does ᄜ look different in different fonts?
Fonts can reshape, resize, and reposition jamo within a syllable; a changed drawing alone does not mean it is another Unicode character.
