What 삳 means
It marks a Korean syllable sound; it does not translate to “sad.”
Unicode forms Hangul syllable names from short Latin-letter labels for each component: s, a, and d here, for ㅅ, ㅏ, and ㄷ. “SAD” is that label sequence, not a Korean word or a translation of the English word “sad.”
Korean dictionaries also use 삳 in pronunciation guides. One gives 삿대질 as [삳ː때질] and 샅 as [삳]. The brackets show pronunciation; the spellings remain 삿대질 and 샅.
Hangul’s blocks join sounds into syllables
Hangul was developed in the 15th century to represent Korean speech. Each written syllable groups an initial consonant and a vowel, with an optional final consonant; 삳 uses all three positions.
A Korean input method joins the components as you type. Unicode also represents 삳 with the conjoining-jamo sequence 삳, whose letters join into the same block when text is normalized.
As Korean text it is neutral; alone in a message, it reads as a fragment and needs context.
“SAD” is assembled from component labels; it is not an English-language sadness signal.
