What 젖 means
It can mean breast milk, a breast, or an animal's udder. The Korean words around it show which meaning is intended.
That text, Seokbo sangjeol, uses Middle Korean 졎 for breasts and for milk from humans and animals. A 2016 comparison with Japanese ちち, also used for breasts and milk, noted a similar range but left a shared origin unresolved.

1Why does 젖 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.
