What 앖 means
Its word meaning depends on the Korean word containing it.
The block joins initial ㅇ, vowel ㅏ, and compound final consonant ㅄ. A CLDR Latin-to-Hangul conversion table maps abs to 앖; that is a spelling conversion, not an English definition.
Hangul development began in 1443, and the Hunminjeongeum manuscript promulgated it in 1446. It was designed to make Korean writing easier to learn and better suited to Korean sounds and grammar, alongside the use of Chinese characters.
How do I type 앖?
Use a Korean 2-set input method.
On a QWERTY-labelled 2-set layout, type d-k-q-t for ㅇ-ㅏ-ㅂ-ㅅ. The input method combines the final pair into ㅄ. Typing the Latin label abs is a different operation.
The keystrokes follow Hangul's onset-vowel-final structure: the input method assembles the parts into one syllable block.
Why does 앖 split into jamo?
The text may store its jamo separately.
Unicode supports both precomposed syllable blocks and sequences of conjoining jamo. Text normalization can convert between these forms, so a character search or comparison may encounter the parts separately.
A font can change stroke weight and proportions, but it does not change the block's component order.
Neutral as written Korean text; the surrounding phrase supplies its tone.
Treat abs as a spelling conversion, not a translation.
