What 긻 means
Three Korean letters are packed into one written syllable. Hangul (the Korean writing system) arranges consonants and vowels into blocks; here ㄱ begins it, ㅣ is its vowel, and ㄼ (ㄹ ㅂ) closes it. The block marks a syllable, not necessarily a whole word.
Does ㄼ have a history in Korean writing?
The cluster follows an older Korean spelling pattern. Hangeul was devised in 1443 and formally introduced in 1446 through Hunminjeongeum, a work that presented the script.
Middle Korean is an earlier stage of Korean. Texts from that period used final consonant clusters such as ㄼ.
How do I type 긻?
With a Korean 2-set keyboard, type rlfq. Enable a Korean input method first: the keys enter ㄱ, ㅣ, ㄹ, ㅂ in order, and the input method combines the last two into ㄼ.

1Why does 긻 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.
