What 괹 means
Its meaning comes from the Korean word it belongs to. The Korean jamo (letters) in 괹 are ㄱ, ㅚ, and final ㄵ, a two-consonant ending. It is Korean text, not an emoji or pictorial reaction.
Hangul was designed to make Korean speech easier to write than with the Chinese characters then used for Korean. Its earliest record is Hunminjeongeum, an early book describing the system, from 1443; its design and purpose were published in 1446.
After a period of use alongside Chinese-character writing, Hangul became an official script for public documents in 1894. A modern spelling baseline was proposed in 1933. On a Korean keyboard, an IME composes initial, vowel, and final input; for 괹, enter ㄱ ㅚ ㄵ. If software leaves the letters as separate conjoining jamo (their connected spelling form), NFC normalization (Unicode’s composed-text form) can combine the valid sequence into one block.

1Why does 괹 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.
