What 픱 means
It is a Hangul syllable block built from three sound parts.
Unicode's label PYIB is a construction name: it identifies the initial consonant, middle vowel, and final consonant; it is not a Korean word translation or a pronunciation guide.
The meaning of 픱 depends on the Korean word around it; the block itself shows how the syllable is built, not what the full word means.
Why are Hangul syllables written in blocks?
Hangul blocks group letters into Korean syllables.
The Sejong Sillok, a court chronicle, records Hangul's creation in 1443; Hunminjeongeum, the book explaining the new alphabet, was published in 1446. Hangul was developed under King Sejong to make Korean easier to write than with Chinese characters, which did not fit the language's structure well.
Hangul's status shifted from a newly promulgated writing system to a script used for modern Korean. That history belongs to Hangul as a whole, not to a separate origin story for 픱.
