What 촔 means
Three jamo join to form this Korean syllable. Its parts are ㅊ (starting consonant), ㅗ (vowel), and final ㄽ (a consonant pair). Korean input methods assemble blocks from jamo; Unicode normalization can split a block into separate jamo.
Created under King Sejong, Hangul gave Korean a learnable script beyond Chinese-character writing and mixed systems such as hyangchal and idu, which used Chinese characters to write Korean. The Sejong Sillok, a royal chronicle, records the new letters in 1443; a 1446 Hunminjeongeum manuscript explains their design. After 1945, North and South Korea followed different writing policies; Hangul-only writing became South Korea’s norm through the 1990s.

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.
