What 풌 means
Its meaning comes from the Korean word around it. The three parts are jamo (letters): ㅍ starts the syllable, ㅜ is its vowel, and ㅆ closes it. “PUSS” in Unicode’s name spells those parts; it is not an English gloss. On the standard Korean two-set keyboard, type V, N, then ShiftT.
Hangul was developed to represent Korean speech more easily for readers whose language did not fit Chinese writing. Its earliest documented creation record dates to 1443; Hunminjeongeum Haerye, a book explaining the new letters, appeared in 1446. Over time, Hangul moved from a new literacy tool to ordinary Korean writing. Its square syllable blocks can resemble Hanja (Chinese characters also used in Korean), but each block groups Hangul letters; it is not a Hanja character.
How do I type 풌?
Use a Korean input method to combine the three parts. A Korean input method editor (IME) combines the initial consonant, vowel, and final consonant into one square block. Type ㅍ, ㅜ, and ㅆ in that order; with the standard two-set layout, the keys are V, N, then ShiftT.
Why does 풌 look different?
The same syllable can display as one block or separate letters. Unicode can store 풌 as one precomposed character or as a sequence of three Hangul letter parts. Korean text display normally arranges that sequence into one square syllable cell; software that does not combine it can show the parts separately. Fonts may change the proportions, but the order stays ㅍ–ㅜ–ㅆ.
Look at the bottom: 푸 has no final consonant, 풋 ends in ㅅ, 풍 in ㅇ, and 풀 in ㄹ. Those are different syllables, not font variants.
Tone: neutral within Korean writing; alone, 풌 carries no built-in mood or social signal.
“PUSS” names the component sequence; it is not an English meaning.

1Why did my Korean keyboard show separate letters?
The input method did not combine them into a syllable block. Check that a Korean IME is active and configured to compose modern Hangul; an app displaying raw letter parts may show them separately.
