What 쳥 means
It is an older spelling within words, not a word with one fixed meaning.
쳥 is an old Korean spelling used for some readings of Hanja, Chinese characters used in Korean. In modern Korean, those readings are usually written 청; read the surrounding word to get its meaning.
Is 쳥 a historical spelling?
Yes; it appears in Korean writing from 1489.
The 1489 Gugeupgan'ibang, a Korean medical handbook with Hangul annotations, used the script to make emergency remedies understandable to ordinary readers; it contains 쳥.
As Korean spelling and sound shifted, the relevant readings written 쳥 became 청. The older spelling is linked to the Hanja 靑 and 淸.
How do I type 쳥?
On the Korean 2-set QWERTY layout, press C-U-D.
Those keys enter ㅊ ㅕ ㅇ, which the Korean input method joins into 쳥. On a phone or another layout, choose the three jamo in order; if they stay separate, the input method has not composed the syllable.
In modern Korean prose, 쳥 looks historical and can be mistaken for a typo for 청.
For current Korean writing, use 청 unless preserving an older source's spelling.

1Why does 쳥 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.
