What 궘 means
It is a syllable block, not a word definition.
궘 is romanized as gweom and sounds roughly like “kwuhm”: begin with a k-like sound, move into a short “uh”-like vowel, and end with m. Its jamo—the component letters used to build Hangul syllables—are ㄱ (initial consonant), ㅝ (vowel), and ㅁ (final consonant). In a Korean word, surrounding syllables supply the meaning.
Before Hangul, Korean writers adapted Chinese characters to write Korean. King Sejong created Hangul in 1443 because Korean and Chinese differed and Chinese-character writing was hard to use for Korean. The script was first called Hunminjeongeum; a 1446 book with the same name explained its principles. 궘 is one regular combination of Hangul letters, not a separately invented sign.
Why does 궘 look different in different fonts?
The pieces may be drawn differently or stored separately.
Unicode represents 궘 as one syllable block or as the equivalent conjoining jamo ᄀ ᅯ ᆷ. A Korean input method may compose those jamo; normalization can also turn the equivalent sequence into one block.
Fonts can change the components’ size, placement, and shape inside the syllable cell. A visual difference alone does not mean the text contains a different syllable.
Neutral as a Korean syllable; alone, it does not signal a dependable conversational tone.
A lone 궘 is not a dependable reaction; ask what word the sender meant.

궘\AD98Why is 궘 a box on my screen?
fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
