What 텱 means
It spells one Korean syllable; the surrounding word supplies meaning.
Its parts are the initial consonant ㅌ, the vowel ㅕ, and the double final ㄺ. Together they spell one written syllable in Korean.
The block belongs to Hangul's regular system of combining initial consonants, vowels, and optional final consonants. Hangul was devised in 1443 and explained in the 1446 Hunminjeongeum, a guide to a writing system made for Korean speech, which Chinese characters did not represent directly. Korea adopted Hangul as an official script in 1894. Those dates describe the history of Hangul; 텱 follows its ordinary syllable pattern.
How do I type 텱?
On the standard Korean 2-set layout, type ㅌ, ㅕ, ㄹ, then ㄱ.
With Korean input enabled, the QWERTY sequence is xufr. The input method joins the last two keystrokes as the final cluster ㄺ; with Latin input enabled, they remain xufr.
Why does 텱 split into jamo?
Unicode also represents it as three Hangul jamo.
Its canonical decomposition is 텱: the initial, vowel, and final jamo used to build the syllable block. Unicode treats that sequence and 텱 as canonically equivalent; Hangul segmentation keeps the sequence in one grapheme cluster.
The syllable itself has no social tone; the Korean word around it gives it meaning and register.

1How is ㄺ pronounced in a Korean word?
It depends on the word. At a word end, ㄺ usually sounds like a clipped final ㄱ. Before a vowel, ㄹ closes the first syllable and ㄱ starts the next; in some verb forms before ㄱ, the cluster sounds like ㄹ.
