What 좢 means
One written Korean syllable; its word-level meaning depends on context.
Hangul’s jamo are its consonant and vowel letters: 좢 combines ㅈ as its initial consonant, ㅘ as its vowel, and another ㅈ as its final consonant.
The 1446 guide to Hangul, Hunminjeongeum, describes arranging an initial consonant, a vowel, and an optional final consonant into one syllable unit.
How do I type 좢?
Use a Korean IME: enter ㅈ ㅘ final ㅈ.
A Korean IME is keyboard software that combines Hangul keystrokes into syllable blocks. Type the initial consonant ㅈ, vowel ㅘ, then final consonant ㅈ; it should produce one block.
Fonts may draw 좢 with different proportions or strokes without changing its identity. The visible string ㅈㅘㅈ contains three separate Hangul component characters, so it is not the same text string as the single precomposed block.
A writing-system component: its useful role is inside Korean spelling.
Don’t infer a private or slang meaning from a lone 좢.
