What 퐒 means
One Hangul syllable block built from three parts.
Its Hangul component letters are called jamo.
Hangul was created in 1443; a 1446 guide presented it as an easier way to write Korean. Before Hangul, Chinese characters were used to write Korean. Later, Hangul appeared in Buddhist and Confucian texts; by the late 16th century, print carried practical knowledge. These dates concern Hangul, not 퐒's first appearance.
Why are there three jamo?
Unicode has a single-character form and a decomposed form. The decomposed sequence is 퐒; normalization can convert it to 퐒. Text may therefore store the same syllable as three characters or one.

Questions people ask
1Why does 퐒 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
