What 젛 means
It represents a Middle Korean stem associated with fear.
15th-century forms include 젓와, 저허, and 저코. Linguists reconstruct 젛다 as their root; the same word family includes 저허하다 (“to fear”) and 저히다 (“to threaten”).
Hangul was devised in 1443 so Korean could be written in its own script; earlier writers adapted Chinese characters to represent Korean speech. In 젛, initial consonant ㅈ, vowel ㅓ, and final consonant ㅎ make one syllable block.

1Why does 젛 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.
