What 빊 means
It spells one Korean syllable; the surrounding word supplies context.
Hangul is the Korean alphabet; blocks group letters by syllable. 빊 combines ㅂ, ㅣ and final ㄶ.
Before Hangul, Korean writing relied on Chinese characters. King Sejong devised Hangul in 1443; the 1446 book 훈민정음, Correct Sounds for the Instruction of the People, explained its purpose. Unicode also represents 빊 as jamo, joining Korean letters: ᄇ ᅵ ᆭ.
A neutral spelling unit in Korean writing.

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.
