What 촭 means
It is a built Hangul syllable, not a word definition.
The jamo for 촭 are ㅊ as the initial consonant, ㅘ as the vowel, and ㄺ as a final consonant cluster. The technical label cwalg describes that construction, not a Korean word meaning.
Hangeul was designed to write Korean speech more accessibly than Chinese-character writing. Idu adapted Chinese characters to record Korean and was difficult for many people. The earliest record of Hangeul is dated 1443; an explanatory book called Hunminjeongeum appeared in 1446. A unified modern spelling tradition was established in 1933.
Why does 촭 look different in fonts?
A font changes the drawing, not the character.
A font may alter the placement, shape, and size of the jamo inside the block. That changes its appearance without making it a different character.
Unicode allows the same syllable to be stored as a precomposed block or as conjoining jamo. In decomposed form (NFD), an editor may show the jamo separately; in composed form (NFC), it keeps one block. Both forms can represent the same syllable.
Use it as a syllable within Korean text; the surrounding words supply its role.
A lone 촭 is unlikely to tell the recipient what you mean.

1Why did my editor show jamo instead of 촭?
That is a different text representation, not a different syllable. NFD keeps the component jamo separate; NFC combines them into one precomposed Hangul block. Both can represent the same syllable.
