What 협 means
It is a syllable whose meaning depends on the full word.
Some Korean words also have Chinese-character spellings. In 협력 and 협의, 협 corresponds to 協; in 협박, it corresponds to 脅. The Hangul syllable is the same, but each word contains a different meaning-bearing part, so use the whole word to translate it.
Hangul was devised in 1443 and promulgated in 1446 to make writing Korean more accessible than Chinese characters. Its letters combine into syllable blocks; 협 is one such block.
Neutral as a Korean syllable; by itself, 협 usually reads as an incomplete fragment.
Do not translate 협 alone as “cooperation”: 협박 uses the same syllable in a threat word.

1Why does 협 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.
