What 숹 means

It is a syllable, not a complete word.

Read it within the Korean word around it. Hangul was designed to fit spoken Korean more directly than Chinese-character writing and make it easier to read and write. The first record is from 1443; Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining the script, followed in 1446.

After the 1894 Gabo reforms, gukmun and gukseo were common names for the script; Hangeul appears in early 1910s records. Idu, Hyangchal and Gugyeol were earlier Chinese-character methods for writing Korean, not visual ancestors of 숹.
