What 읇 means
On its own, 읇 is a syllable, not a complete word.
Hangul packs letters into syllable blocks. In 읇, ㅇ is silent at the start, ㅡ is the vowel, and ㄼ is a two-consonant ending made from ㄹ and ㅂ.
The block's sound belongs to the Korean word that contains it.
Is 읇 the same as 읊?
No: 읊, with final ㄿ, is the modern spelling in 읊조리다.
The modern verb 읊조리다, meaning to recite softly, appears in 15th-century records as 입주리다. Its spelling underwent a 16th-century vowel change and a 17th-century addition of ㄹ before ㅍ; 읇쥬어리다 appears in an 18th-century record.
These forms document how the word changed; modern Korean writes it 읊조리다 with 읊.
How do I type 읇?
On a standard Korean two-set keyboard, type D, M, F, Q.
The Korean input method maps those keys to ㅇ, ㅡ, ㄹ, ㅂ and joins them into 읇. If the letters stay separate, switch the input method to syllable composition.
Fonts can draw 읇 differently, but the encoded character stays the same.
A specialized Hangul spelling form, useful for reading word history or entering this exact syllable.
