What 봟 means
It is a syllable block; its Korean word supplies the meaning. The letters are ᄇ (opening consonant), ᅪ (vowel), and ᆶ (final consonant cluster). Hangul stacks these parts into one syllable; fonts may give the block different outlines without changing its letters.
Hangul was created at the Korean court under King Sejong in 1443; a guide called Hunminjeongeum, published in 1446, explained its design and purpose: writing Korean speech in its own script. Earlier practices—Idu, Hyangchal, and Gugyeol—used Chinese characters to write Korean or annotate Chinese texts for Korean reading. Hangul faced elite resistance and became Korea's official writing system in 1894.

1Why does 봟 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.
