A 2010 dialect survey records Jeju 깅이 for crab; standard Korean uses 게.
King Sejong’s court devised Hangul in 1443; the 1446 Hunminjeongeum guide introduced it as an easier way to write Korean. Unicode represents 깅 as ᄀ ᅵ ᆼ.
Neutral syllable; 깅이 is regional Jeju vocabulary.

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.
