What 퉐 means
It is one Korean syllable, not a complete word.
The syllable is built from Hangul letters, or jamo: ㅌ begins it, ㅝ is its vowel, and ㄹ closes it. The Korean word around it supplies the meaning.
A 1989 Korean orthography article lists 퉐 among possible one-syllable forms before -를, the Korean object marker for what a verb acts on, but leaves its example blank. That records a grammatical possibility, not evidence that 퉐 is a common word by itself.
Why is 퉐 a syllable block?
Hangul arranges alphabetic letters into syllable-sized blocks.
These letters are called jamo. Each block brings together an opening consonant, a vowel and, when present, a final consonant called batchim. In 퉐, ㅌ opens the block, ㅝ is the vowel, and ㄹ is its batchim. The vowel ㅝ joins ㅜ and ㅓ.
Hangul was created in 1443 and publicly promulgated in 1446. Korean had also been written with Hanja, Chinese characters used in Korean writing, which did not transparently represent Korean sounds and grammar. The current spelling system traces to a unified proposal in 1933 and was partly revised in 1988.
How do I type 퉐?
On South Korea’s standard two-set layout, press xnjf with a Korean IME.
An input method editor (IME) turns keystrokes into Hangul. With that layout active, x, n, j, f enter ㅌ, ㅜ, ㅓ, ㄹ; the IME joins ㅜ and ㅓ as ㅝ, then closes the block with ㄹ.
The romanized name tweol is not a key sequence. The layout maps keys by position, not by English spelling.

Questions people ask
1Why does 퉐 look like more than one character?
퉐 is stored as a precomposed block. The same syllable can use conjoining jamo—Hangul letters that join into blocks. Fonts can render both forms alike; Unicode normalization reconciles them, though raw text can contain different character sequences.
