What 층 means
A number marks a floor; 젊은 층 names a social group. In a label like 3층, it identifies a building level; 관객층 means an audience segment.
Hangul, the Korean alphabet, was created under King Sejong in 1443; its design was explained in Hunminjeongeum, a guide published in 1446. 층 writes the Korean reading of Hanja 層, a Chinese character used in Korean. 層 has senses including stacked buildings, layers, steps, ranks, and units; the same character is also used in Traditional Chinese. Unicode treats 층 as equivalent to the sequence of three Hangul letters 층. Software matching exact text may distinguish the forms unless it normalizes them.

Questions people ask
1Why does 층 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.
