What 쳘 means
Use a Korean IME: ㅊ ㅕ ㄹ. On the 2-beolsik layout, press c, u, then f; the input method joins these Hangul letters into 쳘. For direct Unicode input, the canonical component sequence is ᄎ ᅧ ᆯ; an IME or Unicode normalizer can compose it into the block.
Is 쳘 an older spelling of 철?
Yes: 쳘 is an older Korean spelling associated with modern 철. It is attested in the Korean text 가례언해 from 1632. For the word “iron,” the Middle Korean form 쳘 developed into modern 철, which is linked to the Chinese character 鐵. The same modern spelling 철 also occurs in unrelated Korean words for “season” and “maturity,” so context tells you which word is meant.
Historical or deliberately archaic; not ordinary contemporary Korean.
Use 철 in modern Korean; 쳘 can look archaic or like an input mistake.

1Why does 쳘 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.
