What 볯 means

By itself, it represents a syllable, not a complete word.

Its parts are initial consonant ㅂ, vowel ㅖ, and final consonant ㅊ. These Hangul letters, called jamo, join into a syllable block.

Hangul was created to make Korean easier to learn and use. A creation record is dated 1443; the guide Hunminjeongeum Haerye appeared in 1446. The record says its letters followed Old Seal Script, an ancient Chinese writing style. Some scholars read that as a reference to Phags-pa, a Mongol-era script; that link remains debated.

Why does 볯 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.
