What 븟 means
By itself, 븟 has no fixed meaning; the word supplies it.
A Hangul block is a Korean syllable: 븟 joins ㅂ, ㅡ, and ㅅ.
Hangul was created in 1443 to make Korean easier to write; early works survive from 1447. A linguistic study links 븟/붓- and 붓/봇- to the Korean word 브름 from the 15th century, an old form of 부스럼 (“skin boil”).

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.
