What 딺 means
It is a syllable block, not a word definition.
Hangul, the Korean alphabet, combines consonant and vowel letters (jamo) into square blocks. Unicode’s label “ddalm” joins their component names; it is not a translation.
Before Hangul, Korean writers adapted Chinese characters through difficult methods such as Idu, Hyangchal, and Gugyeol. King Sejong created Hangul in 1443; the 1446 book 훈민정음 (“Proper Sounds for the Instruction of the People”) explained it. Hangul spread through letters, literature, and practical books before entering state documents in 1894.

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.
