What 안 means
Its grammatical role decides the reading.
안 춥다 means “not cold”; 집 안 means “inside the house.”
Why is 안 one block?
Hangul groups letters into syllable blocks.
Hangul was designed for accessible Korean writing by 1443; the 1446 Hunminjeongeum text explains it. Earlier writing methods, idu and hyangchal, used Chinese characters for Korean; Hangul offered its own alphabet.
안 combines ㅇ, ㅏ, and ㄴ. A text system may store the syllable as three component letters (jamo) or as one combined character.

1Why does 안 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.
