What ퟦ means
Use a dedicated Old Hangul input method.
The standard Korean input method is made for modern Hangul and does not expose every obsolete jamo. A dedicated Old Hangul layout can enter letters such as ퟦ.
A jongseong is the final consonant of a Hangul syllable, after its initial consonant and vowel. Alone, ퟦ may stay visibly separate; display depends on a font that includes Old Hangul and an app that shapes Hangul jamo correctly.
What does ퟦ mean?
ퟦ is a final consonant used in Old Hangul.
The Korean alphabet was created in 1443; Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the new letters, was promulgated in 1446. It gave Korean speakers a way to write their language directly, without relying on Chinese characters. ퟦ belongs to an expanded set of final letters used to record distinctions in historical Korean syllables that modern spelling no longer marks.
Early Korean spellings could represent tense consonants with clusters before those consonants became more distinct. Spelling alone therefore does not settle every historical reading; the word and period matter.
A specialist historical letter for Old Hangul study and text processing, outside ordinary modern Korean writing.
