What 흆 means
It is one written Korean syllable block.
Hangul joins consonant and vowel jamo into blocks. In 흆, ㅎ starts it, ㅠ is the vowel, and ㅄ closes it.
Hangul was announced in 1443; Hunminjeongeum, the explanatory book, appeared in 1446. The script also went by jeongeum, eonmun, gukmun and Hangeul. As of 2026, South and North Korea prefer different names for it.
Fonts may shift component shapes or positions without changing the syllable.

1Why does 흆 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.
