What 삦 means
It is one Hangul syllable block, not a standalone word. Hangul is the Korean alphabet; it arranges letters called jamo into blocks that represent spoken syllables. 삦 is built from initial ᄈ, vowel ᅵ, and final ᆽ. Its sound belongs to a Korean word or phrase around it; by itself, the block leaves you with a syllable, not a complete word.
Hangul’s development was completed in 1443, and the alphabet was officially promulgated in 1446. Later spelling standards distinguished modern syllables from obsolete forms. Typefaces and typewriters changed how jamo fit the square, but not the block’s role as a Korean syllable.
How do I type 삦 on a Korean 2-set keyboard?
On a Korean 2-set keyboard, press Shift+Q, then L, then W. A Korean input method editor (IME) combines those keystrokes into the initial, vowel, and final of 삦. If the key positions are unfamiliar, the IME’s on-screen keyboard shows them.
The IME composes the three jamo as you enter them. If a text field displays a decomposed sequence instead, NFC normalization can combine it into one precomposed block.
Neutral in Korean text; by itself, it reads as a loose syllable rather than a complete word.
A lone 삦 is an unfinished syllable; read it with the surrounding Korean text.

1Why does 삦 appear as separate jamo?
It can. Unicode also represents this syllable as conjoining jamo 삦. A text field may show this decomposed form if it does not shape the sequence; NFC normalization can compose it into 삦. The compatibility-jamo string ㅃㅣㅈ is different and stays separate.
