What 띴 means
Its three letters build a single Hangul syllable.
In 띴, ㄸ is the initial consonant, ㅣ the vowel, and ㅆ the final consonant. That order shows how the block is assembled, not which Korean word it belongs to.
A lone 띴 does not identify the intended word. The surrounding Korean text is what resolves it.
Why are Hangul letters grouped into blocks?
Hangul blocks bring letters together to write one syllable.
Hunminjeongeum was the name of the new Korean writing system. Its first recorded notice appears in the Sejong Sillok, a chronicle of King Sejong, in 1443; an explanatory book under that name was published in 1446.
Before Hangul, Korean was written with Chinese characters that did not fit Korean speech well. Hangul was made as a learnable way to write Korean, arranging reusable letters into syllable blocks. 띴 is one combination within that system.
Neutral in written Korean; alone, it is an unexplained syllable rather than a tone cue.
A lone 띴 does not reveal intent; ask which word or sentence it belongs to.

1Why does 띴 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.
