What 툧 means
It is a Korean syllable block, not a message with a fixed meaning.
Hangul, the Korean writing system, builds syllable blocks from individual letters. Inside a Korean word, 툧 contributes one syllable; the surrounding word supplies the meaning. Sent alone, it is best treated as a lookup, an input test, or accidental text.
Hangul's design was completed in 1443, and the manuscript explaining the script appeared in 1446. It was designed to represent Korean speech more directly, support daily use, and widen access to writing.
How did Hangul become Korea's standard writing system?
Hangul's role changed; 툧's block structure did not.
Before Hangul, Korean was written with Hanja—Chinese characters used to write Korean—and related adaptations. This earlier writing tradition preceded Hangul, but did not shape its letter design; a block's square silhouette is a visual resemblance, not ancestry.
After resistance from parts of the elite, Hangul grew from a new vernacular script into the standard script used for Korean writing.
How do I type 툧?
On the standard Korean 2-set keyboard, enter ㅌ, ㅛ, then ㅊ.
A Korean input method combines those letters into 툧. On the standard QWERTY mapping, the keys are X, Y, then C.
Unicode normalization is a set of rules for treating equivalent text consistently: NFC keeps 툧 as one precomposed block, while NFD can represent it as separate Korean letters, called jamo. A font with Hangul shaping support may still display those letters as a joined block. The stored characters and what you see can differ even when Unicode treats the text as equivalent.
Neutral on its own; inside Korean writing, it contributes a syllable to a word rather than an expressive tone.
A lone 툧 is not enough to infer a sender's reaction.

1Why does 툧 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.
