What 턏 means
It combines ᄐ, ᅣ, and ᆾ: initial consonant, vowel, and final consonant.
Hangul syllable blocks arrange their consonant and vowel jamo into a square cell. “Tyac” is Unicode’s generated label for the components, not a Korean translation.
Hangul was devised to write Korean in the 15th century and promulgated in 1446 with Hunminjeongeum (훈민정음), a book explaining its letters. The unified-spelling draft of 1933 shaped modern Korean spelling. That is the writing system’s history; it does not give this exact syllable a separate meaning.
Why can its code sequence change?
Unicode stores the same syllable as one block or a jamo sequence. NFC composes the conjoining sequence 턏 as 턏; NFD separates the same syllable into those jamo. After normalization, the forms are equivalent even though their code sequences differ.
Unicode 16.0 notes that font design can vary the position, shape, and size of jamo inside a syllable cell. The outline can change without changing the character.
Alone, 턏 is an opaque syllable block; any word meaning comes from the surrounding Korean text.
“Tyac” is a generated Unicode label, not the Korean meaning of 턏.

1Why does 턏 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
