What 귌 means
It is one Korean syllable block; its meaning depends on context.
Hangul builds each syllable from consonant and vowel letters called jamo: ᄀ starts this block, ᅱ is its vowel, and ᆳ is its final consonant cluster. Unicode can also represent the block as a sequence of those three jamo.
Why does Hangul use syllable blocks?
A block keeps the letters of one Korean syllable together.
Hangul history begins in 1443, when Korean ruler King Sejong created it to make Korean easier to write. Before then, Korean was written with Chinese characters and systems that adapted those characters to Korean, which made reading and writing difficult for people without training in Chinese characters. The script was first called Hunminjeongeum; a 1446 book with that title explained its purpose and design. Hangul appeared in daily life long before Joseon made it the official national script in 1894.
