What 갂 means
갂 is a Hangul syllable block built from three letters. It combines initial consonant ᄀ, vowel ᅡ, and final consonant ᆩ. “Gagg” describes the block’s letter structure; it is not a Korean word gloss. The final consonant position is called 받침 (batchim) in Korean.
The first record of Hangul is dated 1443, and an explanatory book about it was published in 1446. Hangul was designed to let Korean speakers write their language with a system suited to its sounds instead of relying on Classical Chinese. 갂 follows that system: its letters combine into one syllable block.
How is 갂 formed on a Korean keyboard?
Enter the three Hangul letters in order with a Korean IME. The input method combines initial ㄱ, vowel ㅏ, and final ㄲ into 갂; the final consonant is its 받침 (the consonant at the bottom of the block).
Unicode also represents the same syllable as the conjoining Jamo sequence ᄀ ᅡ ᆩ. NFC composes that sequence into 갂, while NFD exposes its parts. A font or app may show the parts separately if it does not shape the sequence; the letters still represent the same syllable.
Neutral as Hangul text: the block marks a syllable, while a complete word's meaning comes from its Korean context.

Questions people ask
1Why can the Jamo appear separately?
They can if the text is stored in decomposed form or the app does not shape the sequence. The Jamo ᄀ ᅡ ᆩ still represent the same syllable as 갂.
