What 앵 means
It usually stands for an insect’s buzzing sound.
앵앵 repeats the buzz as a continuous sound; 앵하다 describes sulking, and 앵돌다 an abrupt turn. A Korean record from the Joseon dynasty, dated 1783, uses 앵(罌) for a short-necked earthen jar.
It reads as a sound effect; the other senses are ordinary Korean words.
Alone, 앵 is ambiguous; read the surrounding Korean words.

1Why does 앵 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.
