What 도 means
It adds or emphasizes the word it attaches to. In negative sentences, the Korean do particle can mean “either.” The syllable also appears in words for degree, moral way, or administrative province.
Hangul, the Korean alphabet, is first recorded in 1443. The Hunminjeongeum, an explanatory book published in 1446, describes this writing system designed for Korean speech.

Questions people ask
1Why does 도 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.
