What 퇟 means
Enter ㅌ ㅙ ㄷ in a Korean input method.
On Dubeolsik, the Korean two-set keyboard, ㅌ is x, ㅗ is h, ㅐ is o, and final ㄷ is e. Since ㅙ combines ㅗ and ㅐ, the keystrokes are x-h-o-e; no single key is labeled 퇟.
The final consonant ㄷ closes the syllable. If you type a vowel after it, the input method may move ㄷ to the next block, so the text can reflow while you finish the word.
What does 퇟 mean by itself?
By itself, 퇟 represents a Korean syllable, not a standalone message.
Like other Hangul blocks, it joins a word through its consonant-and-vowel pattern. Hangul was designed to let Korean be written more directly than earlier methods based on Chinese characters; Hunminjeongeum, the text introducing the writing system, was promulgated in 1446.
Why can 퇟 split into jamo?
Unicode can represent 퇟 as its component jamo.
NFD, a Unicode form that decomposes characters, represents this syllable as 퇟. NFC, a form that composes sequences when possible, can combine those jamo back into 퇟. A Korean-capable font may shape the decomposed sequence as one syllable block; without suitable shaping, the jamo can appear separately.

1Why did an app turn 퇟 into 퇟?
It showed the syllable in decomposed form, as its three jamo. NFC normalization can compose that sequence into 퇟 again; both forms represent the same Hangul syllable.
