What 읉 means
It has no standalone meaning; the Korean word supplies it. Its parts are an initial consonant ㅇ, vowel ㅡ, and final consonant cluster ㄾ.
Hangul, the Korean writing system, was developed under King Sejong to represent Korean sounds by joining initial, middle, and final sounds into blocks. The system was completed in 1443, and an explanation of it was published in 1446. 읉 follows that ordinary structure.
Why does the ending have two consonants?
Its final cluster is ㄾ, built from ㄹ and ㅌ. ㄾ is a Korean double final consonant. In 핥다, ㄹ is pronounced before the consonant ㄷ; before a vowel, ㅌ can move into the next syllable.
Early Hangul spelling allowed a wider range of final consonants; the modern set was standardized by 1933.
Unicode can store Hangul as one precomposed block or as joined jamo, the component consonants and vowels. Without suitable font or text-shaping support, 읉 may appear as a box or as separate pieces.
Neutral as part of Korean spelling; on its own, it reads as an unexplained syllable.
Alone, it may look like a typo unless the syllable itself is the subject.

The font or text-shaping system may not support this Hangul block. A font with Korean character coverage should display it.
