What 좉 means
No: these are different written forms.
The final jamo is ㅌ in 좉 and ㅈ in 좆. The second is a vulgar Korean noun for the penis, so a one-letter typo or deliberate change shifts the tone sharply.
An older written form, 졷, appears in 마경초집언해, a practical veterinary text dated to the 16th or 17th century, where it names anatomy. Later, 좆 appears in insults and forceful compounds. A history of Korean proposes a link to a word transcribed as coco in Manchu, a language of Northeast Asia; that proposed history concerns 좆, not this exact syllable.
What does 좉 mean?
It is a syllable spelling, not a social cue.
Hangul blocks combine jamo, the Korean letters that build syllables. In 좉, the initial consonant, vowel and final consonant are ㅈ, ㅗ and ㅌ. The block spells a syllable; the vulgar meaning belongs to the separate word 좆.
How do I type 좉?
Switch to Korean Hangul input and enter ㅈ, ㅗ, then ㅌ.
A Korean input method (IME) combines jamo into one syllable block as you type. If it produces Latin letters or leaves the jamo separate, switch your keyboard's active input to Korean.
좉 is neutral as a written syllable; the vulgar charge belongs to the separate word 좆.
Check the final consonant before reading the vulgar noun into a message.
