What 쁡 means
It marks one Korean syllable; it has no fixed meaning by itself.
Hangul writes Korean in square syllable blocks. In 쁡, initial consonant ᄈ, vowel ᅳ, and final cluster ᆰ (ㄹ ㄱ) share one block; a Korean word around it tells you what the syllable contributes. On a Hangul keyboard, the Korean IME (input method editor) joins those letters as you type.
Before Hangul, people recorded Korean with Chinese characters, using methods called Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal. These were earlier ways to write Korean, not the source of Hangul's block shapes. Hangul was introduced in 1443, and the 1446 book Hunminjeongeum explained its rules and aim: an easier way to write Korean. Its uses widened from Buddhist texts to Confucian lessons, practical books, and letters. It became an official national script in 1894 but lost that status after Japan annexed Korea in 1910; Korean educators and writers kept teaching and studying it. Those shifts concern Hangul, not a special meaning for 쁡.
Is 쁡 an emoji?
No; it is a Korean text character.
A font fits Hangul's component letters into a square cell; their shape and spacing can vary by font without changing the encoded syllable.

1Why does 쁡 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.
