What 뱃 means
A syllable block, not a complete word.
Hangul was created to make Korean easier to write than with Chinese-character-based systems. Records from 1443 and 1446 describe how its syllables combine an initial consonant, a vowel, and sometimes a final consonant.
Why is there an ㅅ in 뱃속?
It marks a compound spelling pattern. In 뱃속 (“inside the belly”) and 뱃길 (“boat route”), ㅅ is 사이시옷, an added ㅅ used in some Korean compounds. It is associated with a tighter, stronger pronunciation of the next consonant; scholars differ on its precise role.

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.
