What 툓 means
It represents a Korean syllable; context gives it meaning.
Hangul groups letters into blocks: an initial consonant, a vowel, and sometimes a final consonant. Unicode breaks 툓 into jamo, the Hangul letters that combine into blocks: ᄐ, ᅭ, and ᆪ. Their familiar compatibility forms are ㅌ, ㅛ, and ㄳ. Here, ㄳ is a final consonant cluster.
Hangul was developed in 1443, and a book explaining it appeared in 1446. The writing system was created to make Korean easier to write than relying on Chinese characters; these dates describe Hangul's history.
How do I type 툓?
A Korean input method can assemble its four keystrokes.
On a standard two-set Korean keyboard, enter ㅌ, ㅛ, ㄱ, and then ㅅ. A Korean input method combines the last two into final ㄳ and assembles the block; Microsoft's Korean IME guidance describes this behavior (2024-06-20).
Unicode normalization stores the same Hangul text in NFC (composed syllable blocks) or NFD (decomposed jamo). If an app displays the parts separately, it may be showing NFD; the app also needs Hangul shaping to display that sequence as one block.

Questions people ask
2Is 툓 an emoji?
No. 툓 is a Hangul text character, not an emoji character; its displayed shape comes from the font.
Why did 툓 turn into separate jamo?
Normalization. NFD stores Hangul as a jamo sequence; NFC composes that sequence into a syllable block. An app also needs Hangul shaping to display decomposed text as one block.
