What 겿 means
In 입겿, 겿 names a Korean glossing practice for Chinese texts.
The annotations supplied Korean particles and other grammar cues, helping readers follow Chinese writing in Korean. This tradition sits alongside Idu and Hyangchal, historical methods that used Chinese characters to represent Korean.
An 8th-century Silla manuscript records the broader annotation tradition. The Korean alphabet, Hangul, was created in 1443, and its explanatory guide, Hunminjeongeum, was published in 1446. The manuscript documents that older tradition, not this specific Hangul spelling.

1Why does 겿 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.
