What 챽 means
It is a syllable in Korean spelling, not a word by itself.
Jamo are Korean letters used to build syllables: ㅊ is the initial consonant, ㅒ the vowel, and ㄱ the final consonant. This exact syllable has no established standalone word meaning; in a Korean word, the surrounding syllables supply the word's meaning.
Hangul was devised for the Korean language under the Joseon dynasty. Its creation dates to 1443, and its explanatory book, 훈민정음, appeared in 1446.
Why does 챽 appear as separate jamo?
It remains one syllable even when its parts appear separately.
Unicode represents Hangul either as precomposed syllable blocks or as sequences of jamo. An input method or shaping engine can combine jamo into a block, and fonts can draw that block with different proportions. These are changes in representation or design, not a different syllable.
Build the block with a Korean IME
Enter ㅊ, ㅒ, then ㄱ in a Korean IME.
On the standard two-set QWERTY layout for Korean, press C, ShiftO, then R. The input method combines the keystrokes into one syllable block.

1Why does 챽 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
