What 왹 means
On a Korean IME, type ㅇ, then ㅗ ㅣ, then ㄱ. The input method combines the vowels as ㅚ and commits the initial, vowel, and final into one block. The Latin label oeg identifies this syllable; it is not a key sequence.
What does 왹 mean by itself?
Its meaning comes from the Korean word around it. 왹 is one syllable block, assembled from an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant. Hangul jamo are the consonant and vowel letters used to build these blocks; here they are ᄋ, ᅬ, and ᆨ.
Hangul was designed to represent Korean speech in syllable blocks, at a time when Chinese characters were also used in Korea. The first written notice of Hunminjeongeum, the script's original name, is dated 1443; a 1446 book with that name explains the script's purpose and how syllables combine an initial, medial, and final part.

Questions people ask
1Why does 왹 become separate jamo?
Usually it is text normalization or missing Hangul shaping. Unicode's NFD form represents 왹 as the three jamo 왹, while NFC recombines them as 왹; a field without Hangul shaping may display the jamo separately.

왹\C679Why is 왹 a box on my screen?
fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
