What 궏 means
It is a Korean syllable, not a word with a fixed meaning.
The block has opening ㄱ, vowel ㅝ (ㅜ ㅓ), and final ㄷ; the surrounding word supplies its meaning.
Hangul made Korean easier to write than the Chinese-character system then used. Its creation dates to 1443; an explanatory book followed in 1446. A unified spelling proposal came in 1933 and was partly revised in 1988; these changes standardized spelling, not 궏's parts.

Questions people ask
1Why does 궏 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.
