What 책 means
Alone, 책 means “book.” In compounds, 責 in 책임 means responsibility, while 策 in 대응책 means a plan or measure. Both are Hanja (Chinese characters used in Korean).
Hangul was designed for writing Korean. It was created in 1443; a guide explaining it appeared in 1446. 책 covers printed and electronic books; 도서 can also mean digital materials.

Questions people ask
1Why does 책 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.
