What 륤 means
Enter ㄹ, then ㅠ, then final ㄹ + ㅅ on a Korean keyboard.
A Korean input method editor (IME) combines those keystrokes into one syllable block. 륤 is not a standalone symbol with a fixed message; its place in a Korean word supplies the meaning.
Why does Hangul use syllable blocks?
Hangul was designed to write Korean with a regular alphabet.
Hangul's documented starting points are 1443 and 1446: the script was created in 1443, and its explanatory book appeared in 1446. It groups consonant and vowel letters into visible blocks, with an initial sound, a vowel, and sometimes a final consonant.
Names for the script included Hunminjeongeum (the title of its explanatory book), jeongeum, eonmun, banjeol, gukmun, and gukseo. The name Hangeul appears in records from the 1910s and spread widely after a holiday was renamed in 1928. 륤 follows Hangul's regular block-building pattern; these dates describe the script's history, not the start of this particular syllable.
Why can 륤 split into letters?
Unicode can show one syllable as a block or separate letters.
The consonant and vowel letters that make up Hangul syllables are called jamo. In composed Unicode normalization (NFC), modern Hangul appears as one syllable block; in decomposed normalization (NFD), the same syllable appears as separate jamo. Some apps shape decomposed sequences less reliably, so the letters may look split. App and font support can affect the display.
Technical and neutral: 륤 signals Korean writing or text processing, not a mood.
A lone 륤 gives a syllable, not a complete reaction; ask what word or task it belongs to.

1Why does 륤 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.
