What 궃 means
Compose ᄀ ᅮ ᆾ in a Hangul-aware editor.
Unicode represents 궃 as one precomposed Hangul syllable block. Its component Hangul letters are called jamo. The same text can also be represented by the conjoining jamo sequence ᄀ ᅮ ᆾ; input software may keep either form.
Fonts can place or draw the components differently. A change in appearance does not by itself mean you have a different character.
What does 궃 mean?
It is one syllable, not a complete word; the surrounding Korean word supplies the meaning.
Hangul was devised in 1443 to make Korean speech easier to write and learn. Before then, Korean writing relied heavily on Chinese characters and adaptations; Hangul represented Korean more directly. An explanatory guide, Hunminjeongeum Haerye, appeared in 1446.
궃 combines ᄀ, ᅮ, and ᆾ. Changing the final jamo creates a different syllable, such as 궂 or 궄.
A neutral syllable; its meaning and tone come from the Korean word around it.
