What 입 means
Alone, 입 means “mouth”; whole words can differ.
In 입구 (“entrance”), 입 represents 入, a Chinese-derived root meaning “enter,” distinct from the Korean noun 입. 입다 means “to wear,” a separate word.
Hangul was created for Korean: its creation was recorded in 1443, and an explanatory book appeared in 1446. These dates mark the script, not the first attestation of 입. Its block combines initial ㅇ, vowel ㅣ and final ㅂ; separate display alone does not prove Unicode decomposition.

1Why does 입 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.
