Hangul syllable 귝

Use a Korean IME and enter ㄱ, then ㅠ, then ㄱ.

On the standard South Korean two-set (Dubeolsik) layout, those jamo map to R, B, and R on a QWERTY-labeled keyboard. With Korean input active, the IME combines them into 귝; with English input active, the same keys type Latin letters.

What does 귝 mean?

It represents a Korean syllable, not a complete word.

Hangul blocks usually represent syllables inside Korean words, so the surrounding word supplies the meaning. Hangul was created in 1443; the 1446 Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the script, explained its purpose and principles. It was designed to make Korean writing easier for people who had not learned Chinese characters. Chinese characters had dominated formal writing in Korea for centuries, until Hangul became the official national writing system in 1894. After Japanese rule began in 1910, suppression made protecting Hangul part of cultural work. After liberation in 1945, spelling policies and font development helped standardize everyday use.

Is 귝 an emoji?

No. It is Hangul text, not an emoji.

By itself, 귝 has no built-in reaction meaning; a Korean word or sentence supplies its role. Unicode can also represent it as the conjoining jamo ᄀ + ᅲ + ᆨ—the letter pieces used to build Hangul syllables. Normalization can decompose the block, and limited font shaping can display the pieces separately without changing the represented syllable.
