Is 춿 a Korean word?

It is a Hangul syllable block; its Unicode name describes its parts. Jamo are the separate Hangul letters that combine into a block. This one uses ᄎ + ᅯ + ᆶ: an initial, a vowel, and a final consonant cluster. Unicode forms “cweolh” from those parts’ short names; it labels the structure rather than translating a Korean word. Read the syllable as part of the spelling around it.

Hangul’s creation is associated with 1443–1446; Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining the script’s principles, appeared in 1446. Early spelling conventions changed in 1461, 1465, and 1496. The Yuan-period Phags-pa script, a square-shaped writing system, may have influenced Hunminjeongeum; that is a possible connection between writing systems, not evidence that 춿 descends from Phags-pa.

Why does 춿 break into pieces?

Unicode relates one block to three separate Jamo.

Its canonical decomposition—the standard sequence of separate Hangul letters—is 춿, three Jamo. Unicode can combine them back into 춿. Depending on the font and text system, the separate sequence may display as individual pieces instead of one square.
