What 봸 means
Treat a lone block as an unexplained fragment until context helps.
Hangul's design dates to 1443. A 1446 guide to its new letters explained their aim: writing Korean speech in a system easier to learn.
In 1894, Hangul became the official writing system; before then, it appeared in letters, petitions, records, literature and the performing arts. 봸 is one syllable block assembled from initial consonant ㅂ, vowel ㅙ and final consonant cluster ㄽ.

1Why does 봸 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.
