What 칉 means
It is one Korean syllable; surrounding text supplies the word.
칉 combines initial consonant ㅊ, vowel ㅢ, and final consonant cluster ㄾ. These component letters are called Hangul Jamo. Together they make one syllable block; alone, this character does not identify which Korean word or sentence was intended.
Hangul was first recorded in 1443, and its explanatory book, Hunminjeongeum, was published in 1446. The writing system was created to represent spoken Korean with consonants and vowels grouped into syllable blocks. Before Hangul, Hanja—the use of Chinese characters in Korean writing—was an older written tradition.
How does Hangul make syllable blocks?
Consonant and vowel letters combine into one syllable-sized block.
Hangeul became widely used in the public holiday's name in 1928. The modern spelling framework has two milestones: a unified proposal in 1933 and a partial revision in 1988.
Neutral Korean text; by itself, it gives a syllable without enough context to identify the intended word.

Questions people ask
2Why can 칉 split into pieces after pasting?
Normalization. NFD stores the syllable as separate Jamo; NFC recomposes modern Hangul syllables. Text-shaping support also affects how those parts are drawn.
Why does 칉 look different in another font?
Font design. Hangul typefaces can change the size and placement of the initial, vowel, and final within a syllable frame; the underlying text remains the same.
