What 똦 means
It represents a Korean syllable; its word supplies the meaning. Hangul combines letters called jamo into syllable blocks. Here, “ddoj” labels the starting consonant, vowel, and final consonant; it describes the construction, not a Korean word definition.
Hangul was created under King Sejong in 1443. The book Hunminjeongeum, completed in 1446, explained the new script and its aim of making Korean easier to write. Before Hangul, writers adapted Chinese characters: Idu and Hyangchal recorded Korean, while Gugyeol added reading marks to Chinese texts so they could be read in Korean. A 1894 decree made Hangul the basis for laws and orders; Japanese rule ended its official status in 1910. Later, education and publishing returned Hangul to everyday public life.
Why does it appear as one block?
A Hangul font arranges its parts in one syllable cell. Unicode can represent this syllable as one precomposed character or as three separate Hangul letters. The font places those parts inside a square cell, and their proportions and positions can vary across fonts.

1Why did 똦 split into letters?
It can. Unicode normalization in NFD represents the syllable as separate Hangul letters; NFC can combine a modern sequence back into one block. Unicode treats the two forms as canonically equivalent text.
