What 첧 means

Its three Korean letters form one syllable. ㅊ is the opening consonant, ㅓ the vowel and ㅀ the final cluster. Fonts may vary the block’s shape and size without changing its identity.

Hangul was designed to write Korean, previously represented with Chinese characters or systems adapted from them, such as Idu, Gugyeol and Hyangchal. A December 1443 notice announced 28 letters; the 1446 guide Hunminjeongeum explained their design and use. These dates concern Hangul, not a separate invention of 첧. Phags-pa is a proposed influence, but the link is debated. Hangul became Korea’s official script in 1894; Japanese rule ended that status in 1910.

Why does 첧 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.
