What 밶 means
It contributes one written syllable; Korean spelling supplies the word.
Hangul was devised in the 15th-century Joseon dynasty to make writing Korean easier for ordinary people. A record from 1443 mentions 28 letters; an explanatory book, Hunminjeongeum, followed in 1446.
In later Joseon, court women and Buddhist communities used Hangul, and it spread through novels. South Korea calls it Hangul; North Korea uses Chosŏn'gŭl.

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.
