Hangul syllable Ggyaem

It is one Korean syllable; the word around it supplies meaning.

Hangul joins consonant and vowel letters called jamo into syllable blocks; 꺰 combines an opening consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant. King Sejong created Hangul in 1443 for Korean, a language distinct from Chinese, and designed it to be easier to learn than Chinese-character writing. First called Hunminjeongeum, its design was explained in a book of that name published in 1446. It became Korea’s official writing system in 1894.

Fonts may draw its strokes differently without changing the syllable. Older Korean also uses jamo beyond the modern set of prebuilt syllables.
