What 딍 means
Read 딍 as one syllable inside a Korean word.
In Unicode, 딍 breaks down into ᄃ (initial consonant), ᅴ (vowel), and ᆼ (final consonant). These Hangul letters, called jamo, combine into the single block 딍.
When did Hangul begin?
Hangul was created in fifteenth-century Joseon to write Korean speech.
Joseon was the Korean kingdom of that period; the writing system was also intended to widen access to reading and writing.

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.
