What 벽 means
벽 means “wall” in Korean.
Its standard Korean romanization is byeok. 벽 appears in 벽장 (wall closet), 벽화 (wall painting), 절벽 (cliff), and 방호벽 (protective barrier).
Korean architectural accounts describe a shift from curtains and mats to plank and earthen walls. A 1999 etymology note links 벽창호 (“a stubborn person”) to older 벽창우 and a sealed-wall image. A 2008 Korean-language note records 방화벽 for fire protection and network security.
벽 can stand alone as a Korean noun for “wall”; a one-word message leaves the sender’s point to the conversation.

1Why does 벽 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.
