What 곙 means
곙 is a Korean syllable with no fixed meaning on its own. Read it as part of the word or sentence around it.
Hangul, the Korean alphabet, was created in 1443; its explanatory book appeared in 1446. The alphabet was designed to make writing Korean easier than relying on Chinese characters.
A 2017 study discusses a manuscript form written 곙[경]: the bracketed 경 gives the reading of 곙 in 경계. This records a historical spelling variation, not a separate modern meaning for 곙.
How do I type 곙?
On a Korean keyboard, enter ㄱ, then ㅖ, then ㅇ. The input method combines these three Hangul jamo, or Korean letter parts, into one syllable block.
Unicode can represent the same syllable as a precomposed block or a sequence of conjoining jamo. Normalization can reconcile the forms, but software with limited Hangul shaping may display jamo separately; that changes how the text looks.

2Is 곙 a typo for 경?
It can be, but not automatically. In modern Korean, follow the spelling required by the word and source; in older material, an unusual spelling may be intentional.
Why does 곙 look different when I type jamo?
It can be a shaping issue: Unicode also represents a syllable through conjoining jamo, which some software may display separately.
