What 닺 means
The Korean word around it supplies its meaning. 닺 writes one Hangul syllable. Historically, 닺- was a Middle Korean verb stem, an older form of Korean; it was a stem in its own right, not simply a clipped spelling of 다지다. Its later restructuring is discussed alongside the verb 다지다. Parallel changes include older 갖-, 맟-, and 및- becoming 가지-, 마치-, and 미치-.
What does 닺 mean in a message?
By itself, 닺 leaves the intended word unclear. It can look like a typo, so ask what Korean word or source it came from. In historical-linguistics discussion, 닺- labels the older verb stem; that specialist setting supplies the context.
How do I type 닺?
On the Korean two-set layout, type E-K-W. With Korean input enabled, E produces ㄷ, K produces ㅏ, and W adds final ㅈ; the input method combines them as 닺.
Unicode can also represent the syllable as three Hangul letter parts called jamo: initial ᄃ, vowel ᅡ, and final ᆽ. If software shows these parts separately, it is displaying the decomposed form of the same syllable.
Its documented word history is specialized; alone in a chat, it lacks the word context needed to interpret it.
On its own, 닺 can look like a typo; ask for the Korean word or source.

1Why do 닺's Hangul letter parts show separately?
That is a decomposed representation of the same syllable, not a different character. Unicode text can hold Hangul as one syllable block or as its initial consonant, vowel, and final consonant; software and fonts affect how those parts appear.
