What 녽 means
It spells a syllable, not a word with a fixed meaning.
Its parts are ㄴ at the start, ㅗ as the vowel, and ㄵ at the end. Korean calls the final position 받침; ㄵ is a double final (겹받침), with two consonant letters sharing that slot. Its pronunciation depends on what follows.
King Sejong's Hangul system was created in 1443 for Korean, a language people had been writing with Chinese characters despite its differences from Chinese. Hangul offered a compact alphabet whose letters combine into syllable blocks; the 1446 book Hunminjeongeum explained its purpose and principles. In pre-1933 spelling and some dialect-focused notation, jamo may appear separately instead of as one modern block.
Out of context, it reads as a fragment of Korean spelling; the surrounding word gives it a clear role.
Don't treat one syllable block as a complete word without its surrounding context.

Questions people ask
1Why can 녽 appear as separate jamo?
Unicode allows the syllable as a single precomposed block or as the canonical sequence 녽. Normalization can switch between those encodings without changing the text; whether the sequence appears joined depends on the app's Hangul rendering.
