What 돗 means
It is a Korean syllable whose meaning depends on its word. The Hangul letters ㄷ, ㅗ, and ㅅ form one written block. Hangul was designed in 1443 and explained in the 1446 guide Hunminjeongeum to make Korean easier to write.
돗자리 means a woven mat. Its first part comes from an older noun for a mat; sound-based spelling gave it the form 돗 when it joined 자리. Separately, Jeju speech uses 돗 for “pig,” a use recorded in 2025. The pig word is recorded as early as 1103, and its Hangul spelling 돝 is attested in 1447. Standard Korean uses 돼지.
Usually part of a Korean word, rather than a standalone standard-Korean term.
A Jeju source records the “pig” sense in 2025; standard Korean uses 돼지.

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.
