What 굤 means
It is one Korean syllable; context supplies the word meaning.
The block joins three jamo, the letters used to build Hangul syllables: ㄱ is the initial consonant, ㅛ the vowel, and ㅆ the final consonant. “Gyoss” is a Unicode construction label from those part names, not a Korean translation; read the surrounding word or sentence for the message.
Hangul was devised to write Korean more directly than Chinese-character-based writing allowed. Its creation is placed in 1443; its principles were explained in 1446. Early Hangul publications included Buddhist and Confucian works, followed by practical and institutional writing. In South Korea the script is called Hangul; in North Korea it is called Choseongul. The jamo shapes were not directly modeled on Chinese ideographs, though Chinese-character-based methods had been used to write Korean.
How do I type 굤?
Switch to Korean input and type ㄱ, ㅛ, then ㅆ.
A Korean IME (input method editor) groups typed jamo into a syllable block. The Latin label “gyoss” is not an input shortcut; an English keyboard layout will not turn it into 굤.
A neutral Korean writing character: its sound comes from its jamo, while the surrounding Korean text supplies the word meaning.

Questions people ask
1Why can the parts of 굤 appear separately?
The parts can split because the equivalent conjoining-jamo sequence uses separate characters that need app and font shaping support to display as a block. 굤 itself is a precomposed Hangul syllable character.
