What 붓 means
It means “brush” in Korean.
붓 names a bristled tool for writing or painting, commonly with ink. In fixed expressions, the brush can stand for the act of writing, so 붓 can refer to writing rather than a physical tool.
The Korean word is historically connected to the Chinese character 筆, meaning “brush”; its Sino-Korean reading—the Korean reading of a Chinese character—is 필. An early Hangul spelling, 붇, appears in the 1446 Hunminjeongeum Haerye, a guide to the Korean alphabet. In late Joseon, the brush was one of the Four Treasures of the Study, four tools valued for calligraphy and scholarly work.

1Why does 붓 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.
