What 떋 means
It joins ㄸ, ㅒ, and final ㄷ into one Korean syllable.
ㄸ is the tense initial consonant, ㅒ is the vowel, and final ㄷ closes the syllable with a clipped “t” sound. A rough Latin-letter spelling is ttyaet; the doubled t marks a tense consonant.
On a Korean 2-set keyboard, press ShiftE, ShiftO, then E; the input method composes the sequence as 떋.
Why does 떋 start with ㄸ?
ㄸ is one tense consonant, not two spoken syllables.
In early 15th-century Hangul writing, doubled consonants such as ㄸ appeared mainly in special readings of Chinese characters and were rare in Korean word transcription. Tense sounds shifted from patterns linked to consonant clusters or grammar toward contrasts that distinguish words.
An early public record of Hangul appears in a 1443 notice in the Sejong Sillok, the royal chronicle of King Sejong. The 1446 Hunminjeongeum text explains the alphabet’s purpose and design for writing Korean speech.

1Why does 떋 split into separate letters?
Hangul can store the syllable as the precomposed block 떋 or the conjoining sequence 떋. A Hangul-aware font and layout engine should shape the sequence into one block; otherwise, the jamo may appear separately.
