What 꽗 means
It is one Hangul syllable block; read it in the Korean word around it.
꽗 joins the Korean jamo ㄲ, ㅘ, and ㅀ. The final cluster ㅀ is its batchim, the consonant letters at the end of a syllable block. Hangul groups letters this way to write Korean syllables.
Hangul was devised under King Sejong as a system for writing Korean speech. The earliest documentary record of its creation dates to 1443; an explanation of the system, Hunminjeongeum Haerye, appeared in 1446. In this system, consonants and vowels are grouped into syllable blocks such as 꽗.
Why does ㅀ sound different in Korean words?
Its sound depends on the Korean word around it.
The final cluster ㅀ does not keep one sound in every setting: before a vowel, ㅎ can disappear and ㄹ can link to the next syllable; before a consonant, ㅎ can make that consonant more breathy. In 싫다 (“to dislike”), ㅎ makes the following consonant breathier; in 싫어 (“dislike” in a casual form), ㅎ disappears and ㄹ links forward.
A technical or incidental text character; its tone comes from the surrounding message.

1Why does 꽗 look different in different fonts?
The character stays the same, but different fonts can draw its block with different proportions or stroke details. A missing-glyph box means the font lacks support for it.
