What 땙 means
It is a Korean syllable, not a complete word.
In Hangul, the block starts with ㄸ, has ㅐ as its vowel, and ends with ㄾ, the bottom consonant cluster called batchim. This spelling tells you how the syllable fits into a Korean word, not its standalone meaning. If someone sends it alone, ask which word or sentence they meant.
In 1443, King Sejong of Korea's Joseon dynasty introduced Hangul as a writing system easier to learn than the Chinese characters then used for Korean; the explanatory book Hunminjeongeum followed in 1446. Hangul later shared Korean writing with Hanja, the Chinese-character tradition, and became Korea's official national writing system in 1894. Its blocks combine letters into syllables, as 땙 does.
How do I type 땙?
A Korean IME assembles the parts in order.
Switch to Korean input and enter ㄸ, ㅐ, ㄹ, then ㅌ; the IME combines ㄹ and ㅌ into final cluster ㄾ. An unfinished block may appear while you type, before ㅌ completes it.
On the standard two-set Korean keyboard layout, use Shift for the doubled initial ㄸ.
Why does 땙 look different in different fonts?
The font changes the drawing; the Hangul syllable stays the same.
A Hangul font can change the size, spacing, and outline of the vowel and final consonant within a block. Those changes alter the drawing, not the identity of 땙.
A text system may also show the syllable as separate joining letters, called jamo, instead of one precomposed block. The display can split even though the letters still form the same syllable.
Neutral as a written syllable; alone, it reads as incomplete text.
A lone 땙 has no dependable standalone meaning; ask for the word around it.

1Why does 땙 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.
