What 즌 means
Switch to Korean input and press W, M, S.
On a standard 2-set Korean layout, those keys enter ㅈ, ㅡ, and ㄴ in order. The input method—the software that combines keystrokes—joins those letters into the single syllable block 즌.
Hangul was devised for Korean speech, which differs from Chinese, and to make writing easier to learn. The Sejong Sillok, the annals of King Sejong, records Hunminjeongeum in 1443; a 1446 guide with that title explains the script’s purpose and how its letters form syllable blocks.
What does 즌 mean inside a Korean word?
The whole word gives 즌 its meaning; alone, it is a syllable.
In 시즌, the Korean word for a season or a period of activity, 즌 is only the final syllable. It is not a standalone word meaning “season.”
Before Hangul, Korean writers used Chinese characters and systems that adapted them for Korean, including idu, hyangchal, and gugyeol. These were earlier ways to write Korean, not alternate spellings of 즌.
Neutral as a written syllable; its meaning depends on the Korean word around it.
Do not translate 즌 alone as “season.”

1Why can 즌 look different across fonts?
It can. Hangul fonts shape the same consonant-vowel-consonant sequence inside a square syllable cell, so the stroke details can vary.
