Hangul syllable Ddyab

It is one Korean syllable; the word around it gives the meaning.

Hangul blocks group Korean letters, called jamo, into syllables. 땹 combines the initial consonant ᄄ, the vowel ᅣ, and the final consonant ᆸ. These parts show how the syllable is built; a Korean word gives it lexical meaning.

Hangeul, the Korean alphabet, was devised under King Sejong in 1443. The 1446 Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining its principles and purpose, presented it as a way to make Korean writing more accessible than the Chinese-character methods then in use. The tense initial ᄄ belongs to a wider spelling history: 15th-century Korean writing used doubled or clustered spellings for tense sounds, while doubled-consonant spellings entered modern orthographies in the 20th century.

Why does 땹 render differently?

The same syllable can be stored as one character or jamo.

It may be stored as one precomposed character or as the equivalent jamo sequence. Unicode defines that relationship, while font shaping determines where the parts sit and how they look inside the square. With incomplete shaping support, the jamo may show separately; the text still represents the same syllable.
