What 옂 means
By itself, 옂 does not tell you which word to translate.
yeoj labels its component jamo (letters): ㅇ in the initial slot, ㅕ as the vowel, and ㅈ in the final slot. These parts form a syllable block; read the complete Korean word to get its meaning.
Why was Hangul created?
To write Korean more directly.
Hangul was designed for Korean, whose sounds and grammar did not fit neatly into writing with Chinese characters. The earliest recorded notice of Hunminjeongeum appears in the Sejong Sillok, the royal annals, in 1443; a 1446 book with that title explains the script's principles.
Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal adapted Chinese characters to write Korean and were difficult to use. Official records remained predominantly in Chinese characters, while Hangul spread through Buddhist and Confucian books, practical knowledge, law, letters, and literature. It became the national writing system in 1894. Those earlier systems are not alternate spellings of 옂.
How do I type 옂?
Use Korean two-set input: D, U, then W.
On the Korean two-set Dubeolsik layout, ㅇ, ㅕ, and ㅈ are entered with D, U, and W. A Korean input method editor (IME) joins them into 옂 as you type. While composing a word, a following vowel can move ㅈ from this block's final slot to the next block's initial slot.

Questions people ask
1Why can 옂 appear as three letters?
Because the text may use Unicode's decomposed form (NFD), which stores Hangul as component letters; the composed form (NFC) brings ㅇ, ㅕ, and ㅈ back into one syllable block. They are equivalent representations of the same text.
