What 뺒 means

It marks a syllable; the Korean word supplies its meaning.

Hangul syllable blocks combine an opening consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant. These letters are called jamo; a Korean input method assembles them as you type.

Why are Korean syllables written in blocks?

They keep a syllable’s letters together in writing.

Hangul was designed to fit Korean speech and make writing easier to learn. Its letters were completed around 1443; the Hunminjeongeum guide to the new writing was published in 1446. After 1945, Hangul was restored as a cultural foundation following colonial suppression.

The Phags-pa script, used by the Mongol-ruled Yuan dynasty, was proclaimed in 1269. It has been proposed as an influence on Hangul, but it is not a proven ancestor.

Why does 뺒 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.
