What 꺾 means
By itself, 꺾 usually has no standalone meaning. In 꺾다, it can mean bending or breaking an object, bending someone's resolve, sharply changing a sung pitch, drinking in slang, defeating an opponent, or changing direction. The object and phrase tell you which sense fits.
Hangul was created in 1443 and promulgated in 1446 as an alphabet for writing Korean speech. A 1925 book on Korean writing contrasts the sound-based spelling ᄭᅥᆨ것다 with 꺾었다, showing how Korean spelling keeps the verb's base form visible as it changes.

1Why does 꺾 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.
