What 앐 means
앐 writes one Hangul syllable; “als” names its structure, not its meaning. The visible breakdown into Hangul letters (jamo) is ㅇ ㅏ ㄽ: an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant cluster. In a Korean word, the syllable contributes to the word’s reading; the block has no separate translation.
Hangul syllables arrange their letters inside a compact block. Fonts can change the letters’ shape and placement, so 앐 may look different without being a different character.
why was Hangul created?
To write Korean speech in a systematic alphabet.
Before Hangul, Korean writing used Chinese characters and related systems. The script’s first record under the name Hunminjeongeum dates to 1443; an explanatory book followed in 1446. Hangul entered official Korean documents in 1894, and a 1933 spelling plan marked a later step in standardization. 앐 belongs to this syllable-block system, not to a separate historical sign.

1Why does 앐 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.
