What 쳊 means
By itself, it is a syllable block, not a complete message. Hangul arranges letters into blocks for syllables; this one brings together ㅊ, ㅔ and ㅈ. In Korean writing, the surrounding word carries the meaning.
Hangul is the alphabet used to write Korean. It was designed to make Korean writing more accessible: the Chinese characters then used for official writing fit Korean speech poorly. The earliest record of its creation is from 1443; in 1446, Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the new alphabet, was published. After 1446, translations of religious and practical texts widened Hangul’s use. These dates belong to the script’s history; 1996 marks when this block was encoded for computers.
Neutral in Korean spelling; it is a spelling unit, not an expressive sign.
A bare 쳊 gives too little context to identify a greeting, joke, or mood.

1Why does 쳊 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.
