What 돠 means
Enter ㄷ, ㅗ, then ㅏ on the 2-set layout.
The desktop 2-set layout maps those jamo (basic Korean letter signs) to E, H, and K. On a phone, choose the 2-set Korean keyboard and tap the same three in order. The input method combines ㅗㅏ into ㅘ, then composes 돠.
For 돠 vs 돼, check the vowel: 돠 has ㅘ , while 돼 has ㅙ .
Does 돠 have a meaning by itself?
No fixed word meaning by itself.
돠 writes one Korean syllable represented as dwa in romanization: ㄷ is the initial consonant, and ㅘ is the compound vowel ㅗㅏ. Read it within the full word or ending. A font may change the block's appearance, but it cannot change that spelling.
Hangul was devised in 1443 and introduced in 1446 through Hunminjeongeum, a guide explaining the writing system. It was meant to make Korean writing easier than the Chinese-character-based methods then used.
What does -ㄹ돠 do?
It belongs to a historical sentence ending.
Historical grammar lists -돠 among 17th-century Korean declarative endings; a related study records -ㄹ돠. In that form, 돠 contributes grammatical force as part of the ending, rather than acting as an independent word.
Before Hangul, writers adapted Chinese characters in practices called Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal to write or annotate Korean. These belong to Hangul's historical setting; they are not visual ancestors of 돠.
돠 is an ordinary Hangul spelling; the surrounding Korean sentence supplies its grammar and formality.
If you meant 돼, use ㅙ; ㅘ and ㅙ spell different syllables.

1Why does 돠 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.
