What 짠 means
Alone, 짠 means “ta-da!” or “cheers”; before a noun, “salty.”
At a reveal, 짠 introduces what is being shown; 짜잔 and 뿅 serve similarly. At a toast it echoes clinking glasses and is casual; formal toasts suit 건배 or 위하여.
Before a noun, 짠 is the Korean adjective 짜다 (“salty”); for pay or grading, it can mean “stingy.”
Playful as a reveal and casual at a toast; too informal for a formal workplace toast.
For a formal work toast, say 건배 or 위하여.

1Why does 짠 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.
