What 쫍 means
쫍 is one Korean syllable; read it within its word or sentence.
In the documented word 쫍다, it is a regional or pronunciation spelling of 좁다, meaning “narrow”; 좁다 is the neutral standard spelling. A Gwangyang dialect glossary lists 쫍다 as a form of 좁다, and a 2010 report describes speakers pronouncing 좁다 as 쫍다.
Hangul combines letters into square syllable blocks such as 쫍. The Hunminjeongeum explains the alphabet's design. Hangul was designed to make Korean easier to write than Chinese characters. During the Joseon period, it was also called eonmun (“vernacular writing”) and was not the elite default; later, the name Hangeul became widely used. Earlier systems, including Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal, adapted Chinese characters to write Korean.
How do I type 쫍?
In Korean input, type ㅉ, then ㅗ, then ㅂ.
Together, they compose the Hangul syllable 쫍. NFC stores it as a precomposed block; NFD may store its jamo separately while preserving the same text. Fonts can draw the block differently.
Alone, 쫍 reads as one Korean syllable; in 쫍다, it marks a regional or pronunciation spelling rather than neutral standard writing.
For standard “narrow,” write 좁다; outside a dialect or speech context, 쫍다 can look like a typo.

1Why does 쫍 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.
