What 귓 means
The next part completes the meaning. 귓 is the ear element from 귀; final ㅅ is the compound marker 사이시옷. In 귓밥, it signals a stronger, doubled consonant; the word is pronounced 귀빱.
귓불, an earlobe spelling from the 17th century, joins 귀 (“ear”), possessive ㅅ, and old Korean 불휘 (“root”). Its final syllable drops in the 18th century; 귓불 is the modern spelling from the 20th century onward.

1Why does 귓 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.
