What 셤 means
A 2009 Korean slang list records 셤 as shorthand for 시험 (“exam”). That reading fits messages already about exams; inside a longer Korean word, 셤 may simply supply one syllable.
A guide called 훈민정음 explains why the Korean kingdom of Joseon created Hangul, the Korean writing system, and how a starting consonant, a vowel, and an optional ending consonant form a syllable block. 셤 follows that pattern.
How to type 셤?
Use Korean input and enter ㅅ, then ㅕ, then ㅁ.
A Korean IME composes these Korean letter parts, called jamo, into one Hangul block. On the common Korean two-set QWERTY layout, the keys are t, u, and a. With English input active, those keys insert Latin letters; if the input path leaves jamo uncombined, you may see ㅅㅕㅁ instead.

Questions people ask
1Why do I see ㅅㅕㅁ instead of 셤?
Your input path left the Korean letter parts (jamo) uncombined. A Korean IME normally joins them into one Hangul block; some text handling preserves the separate display.
