What 쳉 means

쳉 is one Korean syllable; its meaning comes from the word. Hangul arranges letters into syllable blocks: ㅊ is the opening consonant, ㅔ the vowel, and ㅇ the closing consonant. Read the block as part of the Korean word or name it belongs to.

Hangul was designed to write Korean more directly than methods relying on Chinese characters. Its creation is dated to 1443; an explanatory book about the writing system, Hunminjeongeum, appeared in 1446.

In Korean text, 쳉 is a syllable; alone, it gives too little context to infer a sender's tone.

Why does 쳉 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.
