What 긂 means
It represents one Korean syllable, not a word definition.
The syllable combines an initial consonant ㄱ, the vowel ㅡ, and the final cluster ㄻ. These component letters are called jamo; together, they show the syllable's structure, not a word meaning.
The syllable alone does not identify a particular word; in Korean text, surrounding letters show how it is being used.
Why does Hangul use syllable blocks?
Hangul combines consonant and vowel letters into syllable blocks.
Hangul was designed as an alphabet for Korean speech. The Sejong annals record the script in 1443; the explanatory guide Hunminjeongeum followed in 1446. It gave writers a way to represent Korean sounds alongside writing systems based on Chinese characters.
Unicode can represent the same syllable as one precomposed character or as a sequence of its component jamo. Together, the component letters represent the same syllable.

Questions people ask
2Why does 긂 look different in another font?
It can. Fonts shape Hangul syllables from their component letters, so a different font may draw this block differently; a font without the glyph may show a missing-glyph box.
Is 긂 the spelling of the noun form of 그을다?
No. The noun derived from 그을다 is 그을음, with a vowel between the final ㄹ and ㅁ. 긂 is a separate syllable block.
