What 얬 means
It is one Hangul syllable, not a word with a fixed meaning.
Hangul is the Korean writing system. This block combines three jamo (letter units): initial ㅇ, vowel ㅒ, and final ㅆ. The vowel sounds roughly like “yeh” with a y glide. The final consonant, called batchim, is clipped like t with no release before a pause or another consonant, but links forward as a tense s before a vowel.
Hangul was created in 1443 to represent Korean speech directly, at a time when Chinese characters dominated formal writing. The system was explained in Hunminjeongeum, a book published in 1446. The vowel ㅒ belongs to a compound-vowel family made from basic vowel elements; historically, such spellings represented vowel sequences that later contracted into single sounds.

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
