What 굮 means
Enter ㄱ, ㅜ, then ㄲ with a Korean IME.
An IME (input method editor) combines those Hangul letters, called jamo, into one block as you type.
What does 굮 tell me?
It is one written Korean syllable; its role depends on context.
ㄱ starts it, ㅜ is its vowel, and ㄲ closes it. Together they form one written syllable; surrounding Korean words help show how it is being used.
Hangul was created in 1443; Hunminjeongeum, the book explaining the script, appeared in 1446. Hangul was designed to write Korean speech with a system suited to it, rather than relying on Chinese characters alone.
Why did 굮 appear while I typed?
It can be a temporary state while an IME builds a word.
Hangul input groups typed consonants and vowels into syllable blocks, and the current block can change as more letters arrive. 굮 may appear before the composition is finished.
Unicode treats 굮 and its decomposed form, 굮, as equivalent spellings that normalization can convert between. NFC recomposes the jamo sequence into 굮; NFD exposes the sequence. If the letters appear separated, the stored form or font may be responsible.
Neutral as Korean text; alone, it gives a syllable without the surrounding words that reveal its role.
Read it in Korean context; a single block is not enough to infer a sender's intent.
