What 끉 means
It is a written syllable, read as part of a Korean word.
Hangul combines jamo, its letters, into syllable blocks. In 끉, ᄁ is the starting consonant, ᅳ the vowel, and ᆬ the final consonant cluster. This block is read within the Korean word it belongs to.
Hangul was devised at the Joseon court in 1443–1444 and published in 1446 as a way to write Korean sounds without relying only on Hanja, the Chinese characters used in Korean writing. Early adoption was limited and some elites resisted it; Hangul later became Korea's main writing system.

Questions people ask
1Why can 끉 split into jamo?
It can. Unicode normalization form C (NFC) stores the syllable as one composed block; form D (NFD) represents the same text with its component jamo. The two forms are canonically equivalent.
