Hangul syllable Ddeo

It has no fixed meaning by itself.

떠 is one Korean syllable, written with two letters: the initial consonant ㄸ and the vowel ㅓ. It appears in 떠나다 (“leave”), 떠오르다 (“rise” or “come to mind”), and 떠들다 (“talk noisily”).

The complete word determines which meaning you are reading; this sound block does not carry one English gloss.

Hangul gives 떠 a writing role, not a separate symbol meaning

Hangul, the Korean writing system, was designed in 1443 and formally promulgated in 1446 to write Korean more directly and accessibly than Chinese-character-based writing. 떠 is one syllable built within that system; those dates belong to Hangul, not to this individual block.

Before Hangul, Korean was recorded with Chinese characters adapted in practices such as Idu, Hyangchal, and Gugyeol. These were earlier ways to write or annotate Korean; 떠 is a syllable within Hangul.

How do I type 떠?

Press Shift+E, then J on the standard two-set Korean keyboard.

Shift+E enters ㄸ and J enters ㅓ; Korean input software joins the consonant and vowel into 떠. Stop there: an added consonant makes a different syllable.

Unicode can store Hangul as one syllable character or as separate letters. If 떠 appears split, the input method may not be joining the letters, or the app may be preserving them separately.
