What 드 means
Read 드 in its Korean word; alone, it has no fixed meaning.
The 드- prefix adds emphasis in 드높다 (“very high”) and 드넓다 (“very broad”); that pattern does not define every word containing 드.
Hangul, the Korean writing system, was designed under King Sejong to make Korean easier to write. Earlier systems such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal adapted Chinese characters to write Korean. Hangul’s creation is recorded in 1443; the explanatory book Hunminjeongeum appeared in 1446. These dates concern the script, not the first record of 드.

1Why does 드 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.
