What 봖 means
A consonant, a vowel and a final cluster make one block. Here, ㅂ is the initial consonant, ㅘ the vowel, and ㄶ the final consonant cluster; these building letters are called jamo. The block's role becomes clear within the Korean word around it.
Why are Korean letters written in blocks?
A Hangul block groups letters into one written syllable. Hangul was devised in 1443; the Hunminjeongeum manuscript, which explained the script and how to use it, appeared in 1446. Consonants and vowels fit together in these blocks, so Korean words are written syllable by syllable.

1Why does 봖 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.
