What 롻 means
It is a Hangul syllable; its parts do not specify a word.
Unicode's Hangul decomposition of 롻 is ᄅ (initial consonant), ᅪ (vowel ㅘ), and ᆪ (final consonant cluster written ㄳ). They fill the initial, middle, and final positions in one syllable block; the sequence describes construction, not a translation.
Hangul's syllable-block system was set out in Hunminjeongeum, a Korean text first announced in 1443; an explanatory book followed in 1446. It described how initial, medial, and final elements form syllables in the writing system.
Why does 롻 look different?
The same Hangul syllable can be encoded and drawn in different ways.
Unicode can represent modern Hangul syllables either as one precomposed block or as an ordered sequence of conjoining jamo, the letters used to compose syllables. Fonts control the components' shape, size, and placement, so 롻 can look different across fonts while remaining the same character.
Archaic Hangul syllables outside modern combinations are generally represented as sequences of jamo rather than as one precomposed block.
Neutral written Hangul; the full word or reading depends on the surrounding Korean text.
Without surrounding Korean, readers can identify the syllable but not which word you intend.

Questions people ask
1Why does my Korean keyboard leave the parts separate?
Check that a Korean input method (IME) is active and Hangul composition is enabled. Without composition, ㄹ ㅗ ㅏ ㄱ ㅅ remains separate instead of forming 롻.
