What 떫 means
It is a syllable from 떫다, not a word by itself.
떫다 describes astringent taste: 떫은맛 is astringent taste, 떫어 is its conversational form. If someone sends only 떫, treat it as a typo, a cut-off word, or a spelling question.
The adjective is already attested in 1447's Seokbo sangjeol in older spelling. Hangul itself was created in 1443 and explained in the 1446 Hunminjeongeum, replacing cumbersome Chinese-character writing with syllable blocks. Digitally the block stays together; some processes may show it as jamo ㄸㅓㄼ.
Neutral Korean spelling; alone it looks like a typo rather than a message.
Do not call it bitter; it means dry, puckering astringency.
