What 쳯 means
By itself, it has no fixed word meaning. 쳯 is one Hangul block built from ㅊ, ㅖ and ㄳ; each component is a Korean letter, or jamo. The ending ㄳ is a double batchim, meaning two consonants share the syllable's final slot. When the next syllable starts with a vowel, its ㅅ can carry over and change the pronunciation.
A 1443 entry in the Sejong Sillok, a royal chronicle, is cited as the earliest record of Hangeul. The 1446 Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining the new writing system, describes its purpose and design: a learnable way to write Korean speech.
Why does 쳯 form a square block?
Hangul stacks its letters into one written syllable. Unicode decomposes 쳯 into the joining forms ᄎ ᅨ ᆪ, corresponding here to ㅊ ㅖ ㄳ. The opening consonant, vowel and ending cluster fit together in a compact block instead of running in a row.
How do I type 쳯?
Use a Korean 2-set keyboard: C, ShiftP, R, T. Those keys enter ㅊ, ㅖ, ㄱ and ㅅ in order; the input method joins the last two into ㄳ and builds 쳯.
The joining-jamo sequence 쳯 can become 쳯 when a text system composes equivalent Unicode sequences. The compatibility-jamo sequence ㅊㅖㄳ may remain three separate characters.
On its own, 쳯 reads as a Korean syllable fragment; its meaning needs the surrounding word.
If someone sends only 쳯, ask for the surrounding Korean word before guessing what they mean.

1Why does 쳯 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.
