hangul syllable cig

Hangul syllable 칙

칙 is a Korean Hangul syllable; on its own, it has no fixed meaning, so the surrounding word supplies the sense. In 규칙, it is part of the Korean word for “rule”; in 칙서 (勅書), it corresponds to 勅 in a term for an imperial document used in Ming- and Qing-era diplomacy. Hangul was created in 1443 and explained in 1446 as an organized writing system for educating people.

Why does 칙 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.
