What 앞 means
“Front,” extended to position and time.
앞 can mark where something is, its place in line, or a time before or ahead: 앞에 means “in front of”; 앞으로 means “forward” or “from now on.”
Hangul was designed to make Korean easier to read and write. Its creation is recorded in 1443; an explanatory manuscript followed in 1446. Those dates concern Hangul, not a separate invention of 앞.
Neutral Korean vocabulary; surrounding words set the tone.
For a place, 앞 usually means “in front,” not “before.”

1Why does 앞 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.
