What 얶 means
얶 is one Korean syllable block made from three Hangul letters. Its parts are initial ㅇ, vowel ㅓ, and final ㄲ; “eogg” describes that sequence, not a word to translate. By itself, the block does not identify a complete word; surrounding Korean text supplies the meaning.
Hangul’s first announcement is recorded in 1443, and an explanatory book appeared in 1446. The script was created to let Korean speakers write their language more directly than with the Chinese-character systems then used for Korean.
Early Hangul books included Buddhist texts; later publications carried Confucian and practical knowledge. Hangul became the official national writing system in 1894. Idu, gugyeol, and hyangchal were earlier ways of writing Korean that adapted Chinese characters; they are part of Hangul’s historical setting, not alternate forms or meanings of 얶.
What does 얶 mean when someone sends it?
A lone 얶 gives you too little context to decode a message. Treat it as a syllable from Korean text whose surrounding word or sentence is missing, and ask the sender for that context.
How to type 얶?
Use a Korean IME and enter ㅇ, ㅓ, then ㄲ. On the standard Dubeolsik layout, type d, then j, then Shift+R. A Korean IME combines the initial consonant, vowel, and final consonant as you type; a different order can leave the letters separate or form another syllable block.
It reads like a fragment of Korean spelling unless the surrounding text completes it.
If you meant 억, check whether the final consonant is ㄱ or ㄲ.

That is another representation of the same syllable. Unicode provides a form made from its three component letters, called jamo; text processing or font shaping can display them separately.
