What 낷 means
It is a piece of Korean spelling. 낷 combines ㄴ, ㅐ and ㄳ in one syllable block. The last part is a double batchim—the pair of final consonants at the bottom of a Hangul syllable. Unicode text normalization can represent 낷 as one precomposed block or as its component Hangul letters (jamo), then recombine them without changing the text.
Hangul's earliest clear historical record is from the end of 1443. Its explanatory manuscript was completed in 1446, so the script's creation and public introduction were not one neatly dated event. Hangul was designed to make Korean writing easier to learn, including for people without Chinese-character literacy.
Earlier systems—이두, 구결 and 향찰—adapted Chinese characters to write Korean and could be difficult to learn. Hangul later spread through Buddhist and Confucian books, practical guides and labels, and became the official national writing system in 1894. Work on spelling conventions and typefaces continued after 1945.
How do I type 낷 on a Korean keyboard?
On a two-set Korean keyboard, type s-o-r-t. These keys enter ㄴ ㅐ ㄱ ㅅ; a Korean input method editor (IME), the software that composes syllables, joins final ㄱ and ㅅ as ㄳ. If the letters stay separate, switch to Korean composing input.

Questions people ask
1Why does Korean double final ㄳ sound different?
The next sound changes what you hear. At a syllable end, Korean pronunciation rules usually let only one part of ㄳ be heard. Before a following vowel, the other consonant can link into the next syllable, so the spelling stays the same while the spoken result changes.
