What 앶 means
The word around it supplies its meaning.
앶 is a written Korean syllable. In it, ㅇ fills the initial consonant position without sound, ㅐ is the vowel, and ㅈ is final; the surrounding word supplies the meaning. The final consonant, called batchim, changes pronunciation with what follows.
Hangul was designed to write Korean speech using small letter signs called jamo, arranged into syllable blocks. Its earliest record is dated to 1443, and an explanatory manuscript called Hunminjeongeum followed in 1446. Earlier Korean writing also used Chinese characters; idu was a method of using them to write Korean. Later spelling uses precomposed blocks, though historical and Old Korean texts can show conjoining jamo in sequence. South Korean usage calls the script Hangeul; North Korean usage calls it Chosŏn’gŭl.
How do I type 앶?
On a Korean 2-set keyboard, type d, then o, then w.
On the standard 2-set (두벌식) layout, d enters initial ㅇ, o enters vowel ㅐ, and w enters final ㅈ. The Korean input method joins the parts into one block as you type; it may reshape them until you press space, punctuation, or start a sequence that cannot join.
Unicode treats precomposed 앶 and the conjoining-jamo sequence 앶 as canonically equivalent. An app or font may arrange the decomposed parts separately, so the same syllable can look different.
Neutral as Korean spelling; alone in a message, it reads like a text or input sample.
If it arrives alone, ask for the Korean word or whether the sender is testing input.

1Why doesn’t 앶 always sound like its name?
Because final ㅈ changes with its position. At a word end or before another consonant, it closes like a clipped t; before a vowel, it links into the next syllable as its initial ㅈ.
