What 귉 means
It is one Korean syllable; context supplies its word-level meaning.
Its three jamo (Korean letter components) are initial ㄱ, vowel ㅟ and final cluster ㄺ. In a word, the sounds that follow can affect how that final cluster is pronounced.
Hangul was designed to write Korean speech in a script suited to Korean. Its original name, Hunminjeongeum, is first documented in 1443; a book explaining the script appeared in 1446. At the time, the established written tradition in Korea used Classical Chinese, a literary language distinct from spoken Korean.
How do I type 귉 on a Korean keyboard?
A Korean two-set keyboard builds it from component keystrokes.
On the standard Korean two-set (Dubeolsik) layout, rnlfr maps to ㄱ ㅜ ㅣ ㄹ ㄱ; the input method combines ㅜ ㅣ into ㅟ and ㄹ ㄱ into final ㄺ.
Unicode can store the same syllable as one precomposed block (귉) or as three jamo (귉). Normalization can switch between those representations; a Unicode-aware editor can render them alike.
Neutral in Korean spelling; without surrounding letters, it is hard to interpret as a word.
Alone in chat, it can look like an accidental fragment rather than a reply.
