What 툦 means
툦 is a Korean syllable block, not a complete word.
The Hangul jamo in 툦 are ㅌ, ㅛ, and ㅈ: the starting consonant, vowel, and ending consonant. Hangul is Korea's alphabetic writing system; a jamo is one of its component letters, and Hangul groups these letters into syllable blocks. The final ㅈ fills the block's ending-consonant position.
Before Hangul, systems such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal adapted Chinese characters for writing Korean. Hangul was created in 1443 to make Korean writing easier to learn than Chinese-character-based systems; a book explaining its purpose and principles followed in 1446. In later centuries, Hangul served Buddhist and Confucian teaching, practical manuals, letters, labels, and everyday literature. During Japanese suppression, Hangul writing also became tied to protecting the Korean language.
How do I type 툦?
On the standard two-set Korean keyboard with Latin-labeled keys, type x, y, then w.
Those keys enter ㅌ, ㅛ, and ㅈ in order; the Korean input method editor (IME)—software that assembles Hangul as you type—forms 툦. If the jamo remain pending, Space or punctuation commits the block.
Why does 툦 show as separate jamo? The input tool may still be composing it, or the text may be stored in NFD as a sequence of component letters instead of one precomposed character. The sequence represents the same syllable, though an app may show the pieces separately. Use NFC if software specifically requires the single-character form.

1Why does 툦 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.
