What 늍 means
By itself, 늍 is one Hangul syllable, not a complete Korean word. Read its keyboard spelling as ㄴ ㅠ ㅌ: an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant. The corresponding Hangul jamo (letters) in Unicode's decomposed sequence are ᄂ, ᅲ, and ᇀ. A Korean word gets its meaning from the surrounding syllables.
Hangul was designed to write Korean speech more directly than Classical Chinese writing could. The earliest records point to 1443 and 1446: a record of the system, then an explanatory book called Hunminjeongeum. The book's title and the name Hangeul refer to the writing system, not to a special meaning of 늍.
How do I type 늍 on a Korean keyboard?
Switch to Korean input and enter ㄴ, ㅠ, ㅌ.
On the standard South Korean two-set keyboard layout, these jamo are typed with S, B, and X on a QWERTY-labeled keyboard. Korean input combines them into one syllable block.
If Latin letters appear separately, Korean input is probably off. Phone keyboard layouts place the jamo differently, but the order stays the same.
Neutral as a written syllable; the surrounding Korean word supplies its meaning.

Questions people ask
1Why can 늍 appear as 늍?
It is the same syllable represented as three jamo instead of one precomposed block. Unicode text handling can expose this decomposed form; it does not change the intended syllable.
