What 턂 means
It is one Hangul syllable block, not a word on its own.
Hangul is the Korean writing system: consonant and vowel letters, called jamo, combine into syllable blocks. Its recognizable form emerged under King Sejong's court in 1443; a 1446 text called 훈민정음 explained the new script. Hangul gave Korean speakers a direct way to write Korean alongside the Chinese-character and mixed systems then in use, including hyangchal and idu, two older ways of adapting Chinese characters to Korean. Those are historical predecessors, not visual ancestors of 턂.
How do I type 턂?
Type it with a Korean 2-set input method or enter D102 directly.
Its canonical jamo decomposition is ᄐ ᅣ ᆱ: a leading consonant, a vowel, and a final ㄹㅁ cluster. Tyalm is the Unicode name built from those component names, not a translation of a Korean word.
NFD, the decomposed normalization form, can display the three jamo separately; NFC, the composed form, can recombine them as 턂. The spellings are canonically equivalent after normalization, although their stored code-point counts differ. If the jamo appear separately, normalization or font shaping may be responsible.
Neutral as a text unit; the block itself carries no social tone.
Don't send it alone to convey a feeling; write the Korean message you mean.
