What 픚 means
Its Unicode name describes its parts, not a word meaning. The name “peuj” combines initial consonant ㅍ, vowel ㅡ, and final consonant ㅈ. It is a construction label, not a dictionary gloss. In Korean text, interpret the whole word containing this syllable; the block alone gives little clue to a sender's intent.
Hangul's syllable-block design comes from a 15th-century Korean writing system developed during the Joseon dynasty. The system is dated to 1443; its explanatory book followed in 1446. It was designed to write Korean by grouping consonant and vowel letters into syllable blocks such as 픚.
How do I type 픚?
In a Korean IME, type ㅍ, then ㅡ, then ㅈ. With Korean input enabled, the input method combines them into one block.
Unicode's Hangul decomposition of 픚—the list of its component letters—is ᄑ, ᅳ, and ᆽ: initial consonant, vowel, and final consonant. These letters are called jamo. Writing them as 픚 keeps them as a sequence; normalization and font shaping determine whether they display separately or together.
Neutral in Korean writing; alone, the block does not explain why it was sent.

1Why does 픚 appear as separate jamo?
It can be represented as the three component letters 픚 instead of one precomposed block. Unicode normalization and font shaping determine whether the sequence displays together or separately.
