칩 is the Korean spelling for “chip,” but it can name anything from a fried snack to a semiconductor chip. Its square form follows Hangul’s practice of grouping a syllable’s letters into one block.

What 칩 means

The surrounding topic picks which “chip” is meant. In Korean, 칩 can mean wood pieces for pulp, fried slices, a poker or gambling token, or a semiconductor chip.

Hangul was devised to represent Korean speech in 1443; its explanatory book, Hunminjeongeum, was completed in 1446. Hangul arranges letters into syllable blocks, and its sound analysis drew on Chinese traditions for classifying speech sounds. Scholars compare its design with Phags-pa, a Mongolian script dated to 1269. Unicode may store 칩 as one block or as ᄎ ᅵ ᆸ; text normalization can make the forms match.

Why does 칩 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.
